Sperm Analysis with Sperm Class Analyser (SCA)
The SCA is a computer based sperm analysis software which provides fast, accurate and objectively repeatable results
SPERM CLASS ANALYSER
The SCA is a computer based sperm analysis software which provides fast, accurate and objectively repeatable results. This level of accuracy would be impossible to attain using traditional (subjective) methods.
The software generates objective spermograms quickly and accurately with a high repeatability factor.
The analysis of individual paths and the acquisition of kinetic parameters of sperm motility are extremely reliable and accurate.
The morphological analysis in colour carried out by the software intelligently identifies and classifies those spermatozoids with misshapen head and midpiece (including acrosome). Morphology analysis criteria can be calibrated to use WHO (World Health Organisation), Strict Criteria or even user’s personal criteria.
The Concentration Module of the SCA® system is specifically designed to determine this parameter simply and exactly using WHO criteria on images of predetermined samples obtained with a Hæmocytometer.
SPERM VITALITY TEST:
1. Dye Exclusion Test (EOSIN); to estimate the proportion of ‘dead’ v/s ‘alive’ spermatozoa.
2. Hypo-Osmotic Swelling Test (HOS); to know the integrity and compliance of the cell membrane of the sperm tail.
