    • PICSI® Dish for Sperm Selection

    The PICSI® dish with Hyaluronan microdots for easy sperm selection

    The PICSI® dish is based on research documenting that mature and structurally sound sperm will bind to hyaluronan.
    Sperm is added to the dot of hyaluronan and within minutes the bound sperm are attached by their acrosome to the surface of the dot. Selecting an individual bound sperm with enhanced genetic and developmental integrity ensures that the sperm selected is the optimal sperm from the sample.

    For sperm with poor binding capability as measured on the HBA slide, a significant decrease in miscarriage rate may result when the PICSI® dish is used to identify the bound sperm for ICSI 3

    Key Features

    • Convenient, and easy to use
    • Lower rates of chromosomal aneuploidies in Hyaluronan-selected sperm1
    • Lower rates of DNA damage in Hyaluronan-selected sperm 1,2,3
    • Lower rates of early miscarriage 3

    This product is available for sale in Europe, the U.S.A as well as selected countries in the rest of the world.
