That would be interesting to add to the comparison, thanks!

So at the time when I did the developmental work, I'd take a cool box with a small heating unit and a cup of water in it, or something along those lines. I need to check back with Prof from that time to ask exactly how we used to do it. Upon arrival in the lab we'd continue the incubation in the lab in an incubator, then process say three embryos every so many days to get a series of embryos at different stages of development.

However, travel times were never more than 1.5 hours or so. I don't know how well this would work for longer travels, so it's important that it's somewhat close to my lab, in and around New York City. Unless it's close to the lab of a collaborate of mine, in which case I'd take the eggs there and process them there.

It'd be great if you would be willing to set up a breeding, though depending on your location it might be difficult to get the eggs safely to the lab.
