Team Sperm Sorter

Male infertility contributes to <50% of infertility in couples seeking assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment.

Current methods of sperm preparation for ART procedures select on the basis of motility and morphology, but these characteristics alone don’t always reflect their ability to achieve a successful pregnancy. These existing isolation methods circumvent all the natural selection processes that occur within the female reproductive tract prior to fertilisation.

We have developed a sperm isolation device that mimics the natural, complex, selective mechanisms that exist in the female reproductive tract, providing Embryologist’s with a vastly improved pool of sperm to choose from for ART.
