Usability
- Predicting sperm DNA fragmentation by FACS scan
- Development of male contraception: hormonal, herbal and post-testicular
- Pathogenesis of male infertility
Aim
- To develop the accurate measurement of motion of individual sperm in a population
- To allow calculation of their velocities and proportion of sperm exhibiting progressive motility, and thereby eliminate the bias of subjective ‘estimates’ by technicians
- To help research and education institution to conduct research more quickly
- For researchers, a custom semen processing organization, or in a large group practice, most of today’s CASA systems offer the advantage of reduced bias compared with visual evaluations plus outcome measures which could provide a reliable basis to reject or use a given semen sample, optimally prepare the ‘units’ of semen for distribution, and assure that quality of product meets specifications
Benifits
- To ensure indifference in semen count, motility and morphology estimates
- To reduce inter personal variations and to standardize observable with higher limits of acceptance
- Reliable reproducibility
- Option to have databank for a patient’s records
