Microfluidic Device Increases Sperm Concentration by Optimization of Chamber Structure

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an extremely timeconsuming and tedious procedure in cases of oligozoospermia, because it is difficult to obtain a sufficient number of motile sperms. To circumvent this difficulty, we previously developed a microfluidic device to increase sperm concentration and reduce time required for ICSI. Here, we improved this device by carefully optimizing its dimensions. We ac... view more»
