Sperm analyzers

Sperm analyzers can measure sperm concentration using an optical sensor that detects the number of sperm per unit volume. They can also measure sperm motility using sperm counting cameras, which allow accurate determination of the speed and total number of moving sperm. In addition, some sperm analyzers can evaluate the shape and size of sperm, which makes it possible to detect disorders in the development of sperm and other abnormalities in morphology.

Sperm analyzers help diagnose and treat male infertility by helping to detect abnormalities in sperm quality. They are also used in scientific research aimed at studying factors affecting sperm quality and reproductive medicine in general.

Two types of sperm analyzers

There are two types of sperm analyzers: visual and automatic analyzers.

Visual sperm analyzers require visual analysis of sperm by microscope. This method can be subjective and error prone, so it has been used less and less recently in medical centers.

Automatic sperm analyzers, on the other hand, are most commonly used. They have an optical system for processing qualitative and quantitative analysis of sperm, with which you can automatically measure the concentration of sperm, calculate their mobility and shape. This allows you to get more accurate and objective results than in visual analysis.

Some sperm analyzers can also use computer vision and artificial intelligence to analyze sperm. This increases the accuracy and speed of analysis, making the method already more popular in reproductive medicine.

Thus, sperm analyzers are an important tool for studying male fertility and reproductive health in general. They help in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility, as well as in scientific research aimed at studying reproductive biology and medicine in general.
