What is Microfluidics?

Microfluidics in the context of male fertility refers to a technology that separates healthy sperm from poor-quality sperm using microchannels designed to mimic the female reproductive tract. It provides a more physiological and gentler method for sperm selection and increases the chances of selecting functionally more competent sperm. These selected sperms can be used in IVF / ICSI or IUI.

Who can opt for Microfluidics?

Microfluidics-based sperm selection can benefit:

  • Men with high levels of DNA fragmentation
  • Couples undergoing IVF or ICSI
  • Those looking for a more natural sperm selection method without the need for centrifugation

What are the prerequisites for Microfluidics?

  • A fresh or thawed semen sample with a sufficient count of motile sperm
  • A comprehensive sperm analysis to ensure adequate sperm count and motility
