Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004108011A1] An integrated microfluidic sperm isolation and oocyte insemination device provides the opportunity to perform in vitro insemination with motilityenhanced sperm samples and with minimal manipulation of fragile oocytes. Sperm sorting is performed in a common sort channel wherein more mobile sperm swim across the interface between co-laminar flows of senen and media fluid.
