Semen quality analysis
The goal of research is to develop a microfluidics device to estimate sperm quality. Nowadays, people face more and more serious problem of infertility mainly due to poorer semen quality. In order to analyze quality of semen precisely and conveniently, a reliable, easy-operation, and low cost microfluidics device provides the promise to fit the need.
Figure. Sperm Quality Analysis Chip exploited based on microfluidics technology owns the advantages of low cost, small volume, and easy operation which are suitable for the usage at home. Two indices critical to male fertility, which are sperm concentration and motility, are simultaneously evaluated. The quantified numerical output of the chip provides convenience for the users to long-term record and monitor time-varying sperm quality. The product is demonstrated the feasibility of the home use of sperm quality analysis.
