SPERM CHIP

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with Micro Chips

In the most of the infertility problems there is an insufficiency about the male factor, in other words sperm quality. Inadequacies or problems about the number of sperms, move rate and morphology affect the pregnancy chance negatively.

However, the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with micro chips which has been recently developed and improved at a significant rate, has provided considerable help for a number of couples in order to have baby. The use of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with micro chips method developed by a Turkish scientist at Harvard University is becoming increasingly widespread worldwide.

​A significant increase in pregnancy rates was observed with sperm selection by micro chips. In in vitro fertilization with micro chips method, it is possible to determine the sperms which don't have distorted DNA structure and using those sperms with micro injection is common. In this way, higher quality embryos can be developed and successful results can be obtained at high rates. This method has not been available in all IVF centers since it has recently become widespread. It is used in clinics that follow innovations in IVF.

  • In in vitro fertilization (IVF) with micro chips method, selection of healthy sperm is provided for DNA. Sperm chips that consist of micro canals, helps to resolution of the quality sperm that doesn't have disorders in DNA. Unhealthy and DNA disordered sperms are collected in one side and healthy and not damaged ones are in the other side. In other words, better pregnancy results are obtained with embryos brought from the sperm line by using healthy sperm. With these embryos the chances of pregnancy are greatly increased.

  • In vitro fertilization (IVF) with micro chips has created a revolution in overcoming male infertility. The advantage of using a microchip is to increase the rate of apprehension of pregnancies when the number of sperm is low. Since sperms that do not have DNA problems are used in the treatment of in vitro fertilization with a microchip, the possibility of chromosomal problems in the embryo formed will be reduced to a minimum, so that the embryo's womb attachment rate will increase and therefore the chances of pregnancy are high. In addition the babies are born healthy.
