The relative developmental abilities of hamster 2- and 8-cell embryos in culture were compared using two versions of hamster embryo culture medium (HECM). These media differed primarily in the number of amino acids present, i.e., 20 amino acids in HECM-1 and four amino acids in HECM-2. When 2-cell e
