Presentation description

The aim of this research was to develop a biologically-inspired microfluidic device, the Sperm Racetrack, to sort sperm based on swimming speed. Offering a precise, less damaging alternative to traditional methods, the device uses rheotaxis to replicate natural conditions for sperm separation. Testing with semen samples and ImageJ plugin CASA confirmed its efficacy in speed-based sperm sorting. Thus, enabling further genomic exploration of the mechanisms of sperm motility and male infertility.
