In situ visualization of damaged DNA in human sperm by Raman microspectroscopy
30 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Beyond determining the percentage of damaged sperm, current methods of DNA assessment are of limited clinical utility as they render the sample unusable. We evaluated Raman microspectroscopy, a laser-based non-invasive technique that provides detailed chemical 'fingerprints' of cells and which potentially could be used for nuclear DNA-based sperm selection. METHODS: Eight healthy donors provided...
