Methodology
Chromatin Dispersion (SCD Test / Halosperm) and SpermSoft - CASA (Computer Assisted Semen Analyzer)
This comprehensive male fertility assessment integrates two distinct yet complementary methodologies to provide a detailed understanding of sperm health. The Chromatin Dispersion (SCD) technique, also known as Halosperm, is utilized for the Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) test. This method evaluates the integrity of sperm DNA by observing the size of the DNA halo formed around the sperm nucleus after specific treatment; smaller or absent halos indicate fragmented DNA. The Nuclear Protein Assay assesses the maturity of the sperm chromatin by evaluating the degree of protamination, which is crucial for DNA compaction and stability. The SpermSoft - CASA (Computer Assisted Semen Analyzer) is an automated system that objectively and precisely measures various semen parameters, including sperm concentration, motility (total, progressive, rapid progressive, slow progressive, non-progressive, immotile), velocity parameters (VCL, VSL, VAP), and linearity. CASA also assists in morphology assessment and provides kinematic data, ensuring a standardized and comprehensive evaluation of semen quality.
Sample Required
SEMEN / SPERM : (A fresh semen sample, collected typically via masturbation, is required for this test. Strict adherence to collection instructions is essential for accurate results.)
Preparation
Accurate collection of the semen sample is paramount for reliable results for both DFI and nuclear protein assay. Please adhere to the following strict instructions: * Abstinence Period: Abstain from ... Read more
