Vitality

• Sperm membrane STRUCTURAL Integrity, most essential for sperm viability.

• The membrane of ‘Live’ (Viable) spermatozoa acts as a barrier for stain hence they are unstained sperm, whereas ‘Dead’ sperm allow to penetrate the stain hence they are stained sperm.

Sperm Vitality

• One of the vital factor affecting Sperm Vitality is Sperm Membrane Integrity. Sperm membrane integrity assessment helps in understanding the overall fertilization capacity of sperms. 

• Compromised sperm membrane integrity has an effect on Sperm Motility, Sperm Capacitation, Acrosome Reaction & binding of sperm to the Zona Pellucida.

• With our Ready-to-use reagents kits, you not just save time and procurement hassels but get complete control over quality. Also specially designed instruments and accessories gives ease of work, speed and precise results.

• So now you get not just the reagents but truly a complete solution.

Assessment of Sperm Vitality

• Sperm Vitality is measurable through Sperm Membrane Integrity assessment and is the reflection of proportion of live spermatozoa. Sperm Vitality assessment is based on the ability of the live cell membrane to exclude stain from entering the sperm cell.

• The membrane of 'Live' (Viable) spermatozoa acts as barrier to the stain, hence they remain unstained.

• Whereas in 'Dead' sperms, the membrane is permeable to the stain, hence, are easily stained.

• High percentage of viable sperms with extremely low motility strongly suggests an ultra structural (cytoskeleton) sperm defect.

Note: The Supravital stains are not appropriate for assessing vitality of the cryo preserved spermatozoa because Glycerol interferes with the stain.

Safety & Environmental Precautions

• Store the kit in appropriate conditions as per the instructions given on the package.

• Do not use the kits beyond expiry date given on the package.

• All the reagents are potentially hazardous and it is strictly advised to follow the MSDS instructions.

• All the patients' samples should be treated as potentially infectious. Laboratory personnel are advised to wear protective gloves, face masks, laboratory coats etc while performing the tests.

• Dispose off all the waste generated, during and after the tests, in an appropriate manner as per the governing compliance laws of the land.
