Integration of Sperm Motility and Chemotaxis Screening with a Microchannel-Based Device
15 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sperm screening is an essential step in in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. The swim-up method, an assay for sperm motility, is used clinically to select the ideal sperm for subsequent manipulation. However, additional parameters, including acrosome reaction capability, chemotaxis, and thermotaxis, are also important indicators of mammalian sperm health. To monitor both sperm motility and...
