Provides semi-automatic assessment of sperm concentration in millions per ml, total motility and WHO motility classification, based on sperm kinematics for each sample, using 10X/20X phase contrast.
The module classifiers work as per guidelines of both the WHO 4th and 5th editions. Option of classifier “learning” is also provided.
Measurement of additional WHO defined sperm motion parameters like VCL, VAP, VSL, STR, LIN, WOB, ALH, BCF, MAD, LinTr and STRLinTr enables assessment of sperm kinematics for each and every sperm.
Provides semi-automatic assessment of sperm morphology in Diff Quick & Haematoxylin & Eosin stained specimens. Stained spermatozoa in captured fields are analyzed using 50X oil objective under brightfield illumination.
Classification as per Kruger’s strict criteria. Calculation of indices of multiple sperm defects like TZI, SDI, MAI is also possible.
The viability of sperm is another important measurement parameter especially in cases of severe male factor infertility. The Modular CASA Vitality module provides semi- automated assessment of the ratio of live and dead sperm in a semen sample in smears stained using the Eosin Nigrosin method.
Images are captured using a 50X oil objective under brightfield illumination.
The Modular CASA DNA Fragmentation module provides semi-automated assessment of percentage of DNA fragmentation in a semen sample based on the Sperm Chromatin Dispersion test. The analysis is done using a 50X oil objective under brightfield illumination.
Samples are stained using a DNA fragmentation kit like Haloview and sperm are classified as either with intact or fragmented DNA based on the size of the halo.
