Sperm assessment analysis
Sperm analysis team members perform both computer-assisted analysis of sperm motility analysis and cauda epididymal and testes concentration (using the latest IVOS-CASA) and microscopic examination of fixed sperm morphology.
Many studies are performed in the rodent, but a range of other species are also validated including primates, mini-pigs, canine and the rabbit.
Sperm assessments may be included in a variety of study designs, but it is most often performed in fertility and multi-generational studies where it aids in the detection of possible effects on sperm production, release, maturation, function and ultimately fertility in the sexually mature animals.
