Device for separation and detection of sperm motility.

摘要

an apparatus for separating and detecting motile spermatozoa in a liquid sample, the apparatus having: - a separation vessel sample comprising: (a) an input port of sample (b) an output port sample, which is initially closed ; (C) a sample separation medium into which motile spermatozoa in the sample can migrate via the sample inlet port; and (d) an operating actuator to open the outlet port of the sample thereby allowing the separation medium to flow out of the container through the outlet port sample - detecting means sperm comprising: (i) application zone in communication with the outlet port; (Ii) a detection zone in which the presence of spermatozoa can be detected; and (iii) a reactive zone containing a reagent which is capable of reacting with spermatozoa to facilitate their detection in the detection zone, these zones being arranged to permit capillary flow of spermatozoa from the application zone to the detection zone .
