Semen analysis
|
The main
goal of semen analysis is to determine the fertilizing ability of the semen.
Additionally we establish the freezing ability of the semen in advance. In the
laboratory we examine many factors: the motility rate of the semen batch, the
concentration of sperm per cc, the total amount in cc and the morphology and
percentage of abnormal sperms we
establish under the microscope after fixation and colouring of the sample.
Meanwhile we
apply other means of objective semen analysis. We use the Proiser-ISAS computer
assisted semen analyser. This software program is capable of establishing the
exact patterns of movement of individual sperms. Classification according to
WHO standards can be performed with this program. The concentration of the
semen can be established very quick and accurate. A big advantage is the
possibility of examination of detailed morphology of the individual sperm cell,
particularly concerning the head, head cap and mid part. Every sperm analysis
is digitally recorded which facilitates further analysis, documentation and
distribution.
