Comparison of microfluid sperm sorting chip and density gradient methods for use in intrauterine insemination cycles
Objective To compare the effect of microfluiding sperm sorting chip and density gradient methods on ongoing pregnancy rates (PRs) of patients undergoing IUI. Result(s) A total of 265 patients were included in the study. Microfluid sperm sorting and density gradient were used to prepare sperm in 133 and 132 patients, respectively. Baseline spermiogram parameters, including […]
MiOXSYS: a novel method of measuring oxidation reduction potential in semen and seminal plasma
Routine semen analysis is the backbone of male factor infertility evaluation. However, such testing does not assess oxidative stress, which is a major contributor to male factor infertility (1–7). Oxidative stress in sperm stems from excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Physiological levels of ROS are necessary for optimal sperm functions such as motility, […]
