VetMotl Sperm Separation Device

Instructions: The VetMotl Sperm Separation Devices have three major features: a sample inlet port, a sample outlet port/concentration chamber and a membrane filter. A diluted raw semen sample is injected into the inlet port. The sample travels into the lower portion of the device, underneath a membrane filter that has micropores. Fertilization media is placed on top of the membrane. During incubation, progressively motile sperm migrate through the pores into the fresh media above. They leave behind the less motile, morphologically abnormal sperm. What is collected from above the membrane are healthy, motile sperm.

When using a frozen sample, follow industry-recommended instructions on thawing the straw. Dilute the sample 1:1 with wash media. Mix gently by tapping the tube/vial and inject this diluted sample into the VetMotl device in the same manner as a fresh sample. Please see the Instructions for Use or ask us for more details.

Since a heat source is necessary, it's recommended that VetMotl devices be incubated for 30 minutes.
