Highly motile sperms with good morphology are more capable of fertilizing an oocyte and increase the pregnancy rate during the process of ART. In swim up method and density gradient method, multiple centrifugation leads to ROS production that can cause DNA damage to the sperms. Microfluidic chips are one of the Method of sperm separation to eliminate DNA fragmentation in sperm. It is thought that the separation of sperm by centrifugation method used in sperm separation in IVF (in vitro fertilization) laboratories leads to sperm DNA fragmentation. By using microfluidics sperm sorting device, spermatozoa do not undergo such physical stress. Therefore it is possible to obtain sperms with ICSI criteria of good motility and in higher concentration with the use of micro fluidic sperm sorting device.

Abstract


Highly motile sperms with good morphology are more capable of fertilizing an oocyte and increase the pregnancy rate during the process of ART. In swim up method and density gradient method, multiple centrifugation leads to ROS production that can cause DNA damage to the sperms. Microfluidic chips are one of the Method of sperm separation to eliminate DNA fragmentation in sperm. It is thought that the separation of sperm by centrifugation method used in sperm separation in IVF (in vitro fertilization) laboratories leads to sperm DNA fragmentation. By using microfluidics sperm sorting device, spermatozoa do not undergo such physical stress. Therefore it is possible to obtain sperms with ICSI criteria of good motility and in higher concentration with the use of micro fluidic sperm sorting device.
