More than 70 million couples worldwide cannot reproduce naturally and have to go through Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI).
With an increasing rate of male infertility due to environmental and physiological conditions, there is an ever-growing need for the use of ARTs in reproductive clinics. Isolation of the motile and morphologically normal viable sperm is an integral process to commonly used IVF/ICSI/IUI procedures.
Microfluidic sperm sorting (MFSS) chips– FERTILE ®, FERTILE Plus®, FERTILE Ultimate®, are used in ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) namely IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination) and ICSI (IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection). FERTILE ®, FERTILE Plus® and FERTILE Ultimate® are designed for sorting row sperm (unprocessed semen sample) and show significantly lesser reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA fragmentation without using the conventional techniques (like centrifuge or mixing with pipette) that used in every assisted reproductive technology, andrology or embryology laboratory, and might lead to reduce sperm quality
Microfluidic sperm sorting (MFSS) mimicking the natural way of sperm selection, Sperm walk towards the outlet in the channels similar to what they do on the microfluidic channels of the female genital tract which make it the only available sperm selection method that can efficiently sort healthy, motile and morphologically normal sperm without centrifugation, which can be used for ICSI,IVF and IUI.
