Abstract excerpt
This study examines the properties of an electrophoretic device designed to effect the rapid isolation of spermatozoa for assisted conception purposes. In light of previous reports suggesting that X- and Y-bearing spermatozoa can be separated in an electric field, the first characteristic examined was the sex chromosome status of electrophoretically isolated spermatozoa. Exploiting sex chromosome-specific...
