SPERM CHIP

What is a Sperm Chip?

A Sperm Chip is a microfluidic technology used in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility. This device is a miniature laboratory system developed to analyze the motility, count, and quality of sperm cells.

Features and Applications of the Sperm Chip:

Fast and Precise Analysis Provides faster and more accurate results

compared to traditional semen analysis methods.

Sperm motility, morphology (shape), and concentration can be measured automatically.

Microfluidic Technology

Sperm is sorted with high precision as it passes through micro channels.Healthy sperm can be separated from weak or immobile sperm.

Usage in IVF and ICSI Treatments:

Helps in selecting the highest quality sperm, increases the chances of fertilization.

It can be used in the analysis of sperm obtained from testicular tissue, especially in cases of azoospermia (absence of sperm in semen).

Portable and User-Friendly Some sperm chips come with models designed for home semen testing.

Advantages

Provides more objective results compared to traditional methods.Saves time and costs.Offers an effective solution for men with low sperm count or mobility.

Sperm Selection with Sperm Chip (MACS, Some advanced sperm Microfluidics)

chips help separate the healthiest sperm using magnetic fields or microchannels. This particularly increases the success rate in assisted reproductive techniques such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). As a result, sperm chip technology represents a revolutionary development in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility. It is successfully applied at the Cyprus Omni IVF Clinic.
