FertileChip is a technique that allows sperm with lower DNA fragmentation to be selected using a device that simulates the natural conditions of the female reproductive tract. This results in sperm with better genetic quality for use in assisted reproduction techniques such as ICSI.
Thanks to its microfluidic design, FertileChip efficiently selects sperm with the best DNA integrity without the need for prior sample processing, such as washing or capacitation. This not only simplifies the procedure and makes it quicker and easier to use but also reduces the risk of contamination and keeps the sperm conditions as natural as possible.
FertileChip is completely safe as it does not alter or damage sperm. Its function is solely to select those with the best genetic quality, without affecting their structure or function. Its use complements the work of the embryologist and can help to optimise the results of assisted reproduction techniques without posing any risks to the sample or the future embryo.
FertileChip is particularly recommended when there is a history of poor embryo quality, implantation failure or recurrent miscarriages that could be related to high sperm DNA fragmentation. In these cases, selecting sperm with better genetic integrity can help optimise the chances of treatment success.
