PCG® Sperm DNA Fragmentation Kit
PCG® Sperm DNA Fragmentation Kit
1. Easy-to-use concept
- Quick execution time (7-10 minutes per test)
- Simple operation with the pre-set program
2. Two main sperm variables
- DNA Fragmentation Index - DFI: percentage of sperm with detectable DNA damage
- High DNA stainability - HDS: percentage of sperm with immature chromatin
3. High repeatability and high accuracy
A minimum of 5000 sperm cells is analyzed for each sample
4. Rapid simple report
Standard Reporting Template is pre-installed on the
instrument
5. Supply sperm preservation solution
Storage and transport of semen without using liquid nitrogen
