Sperm Selection with a Microfluidic Chip
A microfluidic chip is a sperm selection technology that uses a specialised microenvironment to support sperm selection based on physiological principles. It is used as part of the laboratory approach in specific cases where a more precise selection of sperm is needed for fertilisation.
One of the key advantages of microfluidic methods is that they allow controlled sperm selection in an environment designed to mimic certain natural conditions. This supports the embryology team in preparing the sample and selecting the most suitable sperm cells, depending on the fertilisation technique and the individual parameters of the case.
How We Use This Technology at New Life
This method is applied according to the specific clinical data and the objective of the procedure, as part of the overall laboratory protocol.
Who It May Be Suitable For
It may be used in cases where the embryologist determines that this method could contribute to more effective sample preparation.
What It Means for the Patient
A more structured and modern approach to laboratory sperm processing.
