Abstract :
We developed a biological cell rotation system using electrostatic force, which is excellent for manipulating a minute object. This system is the important element of an automated nuclear transplantation system. This system could rotate a mouse´s oocyte three dimensionally. And, it was confirmed that the rotation by electrostatic force did not influence fertilization and development ability of the oocyte.
