PICSI® Dish and SpermSlow™ Media

New research on Andrology has been published!
This white paper by Steve Fleming PhD discusses two different but related approaches developed for sperm selection via their ability to bind Hyaluronan: the PICSI® Dish and SpermSlow™ Media.
“This is an important study which demonstrates the clinical value of sperm selection using the PICSI dish”
Steve Fleming PhD
In this paper, you’ll learn more about:
- How standard ICSI enables incompetent spermatozoa to bypass the oocyte’s natural gatekeepers which would otherwise help to police sperm quality.
- The correlation of sperm maturity, decreased aneuploidy, increased chromatin integrity, and decreased sperm DNA fragmentation with the ability of spermatozoa to bind to HA.
- How ICSI operators only have sperm motility and morphology to assist them in selecting sperm, which provides little indication of the sperm’s genomic integrity.
- How sperm selection using a PICSI dish significantly reduces the miscarriage rate and improves live birth outcomes among older couples.
