Title:
SPERM MOTILITY ANALYZER AND RELATED METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/061578
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Method and systems of classifying sperm motility include detecting one or more movement parameters of a plurality of sperm in a sample using a computer-assisted sperm analysis device. The movement parameters of individual ones of the plurality of sperm are classified into one of at least four classifications.
