Abstrakt: Appropriate mechanical tension of the vitelline membrane as the culture substrate for the early chick embryo is frequently reported to be required for successful in vitro development. Here we describe a modified device, made of anodized aluminum, for in vitro culture which we used for studies of left-right symmetry breaking with emphasis on morphology and gene expression as readouts. The technique allows for easy, high-throughput tissue handling and provides a suitable tension in a stable and easily reproducible manner proven to be suitable for correct molecular left-right patterning and heart looping after long-term culture.
