how cold can embryos survive?

[E3lx]

I just had a fuse blown and failed to repair it for about 1 and a hlf hours , in which time the incubator temperature steadily declined to about 26 degrees celcius 06
Can the embryos survive that cold? : 19
Thanks in advance.

They should they can survive longer cooler temperatures than hot.Candle the eggs and you should know for sure.

Many of us will have had temp drop due to power cuts etc. There is a good chance that the eggs will not be adversely affected, though they may take a day or two longer to hatch so don't give up.

my incubator got turned off for nearly four hours and the eggs were cold. They all hatched OK. I think I was on day eight.
