摘要:
The invention encompasses methods for reducing the proportion of sperm cells with abnormal morphology, and unviable sperm cells, in a sperm cell population.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to processes, systems, and compositions useful in manipulating a ratio of viable X chromosome bearing sperm to viable Y chromosome bearing sperm in at least one sperm population and useful for preserving the resulting manipulated sperm population. In some embodiments a cryoprotectant may be incorporated into various medias used in manipulating the sperm sample, such as in a staining media, a sheath fluid, and a collection media.

摘要:
Embodiments of the claimed invention relate to a method of producing sex sorted sperm having an improved dose response which includes the steps of extending a sperm sample with a buffering holding media and adjusting the concentration of the extended sperm sample to a target concentration range. The extended sperm may then be stained with a DNA selective dye and sex sorted with a flow cytometer into a catch fluid. During the extending and sorting of the sperm sample, the pH may be maintained at a target pH. Additionally, at least one of the buffering holding media, the DNA selective dye and the catch fluid may be supplemented with at least one antioxidant.
摘要:
A method of sex sorting sperm is disclosed. The sperm may be stained with a DNA selective fluorescent dye, which fluoresces when excited, a dead quenching dye, which selectively quenches fluorescence emitted by the DNA selective fluorescent dye within the membrane of compromised sperm, and a split enhancing dye. The stained sperm may then sorted into one or more gender enriched subpopulations of viable sperm.

摘要:
Methods for processing and sorting sperm are disclosed. Portions of sperm sorting or staining processes may include standardizing sperm samples by adjusting the concentration of the sperm sample to a predetermined concentration and adjusting the pH of the sample to a predetermined value. Sperm may also be stained in a single staining buffer having a DNA selective dye and a quenching dye.
