Technology
Motility Channel
Light disturbances caused by moving sperm cells are converted into
analog
signals.
Proprietary algorithms interpret the signals and report motility.
Concentration Channel
Based on spectrophotometry analysis of the semen samples and application of
proprietary algorithms.
1.
The capillary is inserted into the measurement compartment.
2.
Sample concentration is evaluated in the "tall" 10 mm chamber of the capillary.
3.
Motility is detected in the "thin" 0.3 mm section of the capillary.
4.
This information is then digitized and routed to the microprocessor that applies
algorithms to extract the required clinical semen parameters.
