A Flow Cytometric Method for Rapid Determination of Sperm Concentration and Viability in Mammalian and Avian Semen
4 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
A new flow cytometric method has been developed to rapidly determine sperm concentration and viability in semen from bulls and boars. Sperm viability was determined on the basis of staining with SYBR-14 and propidium iodide (PI), and this allowed detection of live (membrane-intact) sperm, dying (moribund) sperm, as well as dead cells. Fluorescent microspheres (beads) were used to determine sperm concentration....
