how a zebrafish embryo is dechorionated

just a vid i took while doing my project. u might think it's easy from e vid cos it looked easy, but i was lucky lols. i've accidentally murdered countless embyros already, so, yea i was lucky this time. not forgetting i had to squint cos the focus was adjusted for the camera, but when seen through the microscope, it's blurry. bahh just watch and enjoy! check my other vids for more =D

leave me ur comments plsss. very much appreciated.

It'd be way easier to use two pairs of number 6 watchmakers' forceps than those stick things. It must take you forever to get through a batch of 200 doing it that way. With forceps you can dechorionate in a second or two, once you get into the flow of it.

haha well lucky for me the dechorionation isn't the main focus of the project so we only needed to dechorionate a few. if i rmb right my project was to expose them to some compounds of an anti-SARS drug to see if there were adverse reactions to the zebrafish..

thanks for the tip anw!

cheers,

When I dechorionate my zebrafish embryos, I just use two pairs of little tweezers. They work much better.
