The application of magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) has allowed for the separation of healthy sperm from damaged sperm for over 25 years. Through this technique, we ensure that we select the best sperm for use in assisted reproduction treatments. By eliminating apoptotic sperm, or those destined to die or cause reproductive problems, we significantly increase the chances of pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        • To carry out the MACS technique, it is necessary to use biodegradable magnetic particles attached to an antibody (annexin V protein) that can recognize sperm that will die, bind to them, and separate them from healthy sperm.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          • The annexin V-coated beads are added to the semen sample and passed through columns in the presence of a small magnetic field. The apoptotic sperm are retained in the column walls while the healthy sperm pass through by gravity, resulting in the selection of sperm with the best physiological qualities for use in assisted reproduction treatments.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
