Sperm chip, which is a sperm selection and preparation method used in vaccination, sperm injection and in vitro fertilization processes, has a very important place in IVF treatment as it enables the selection of quality sperm by separating damaged sperm.

Despite the DNA damage in the sperm cells, which causes a significant loss in the success rate of fertilization, the sperm with the most suitable DNA structure can be easily selected with the sperm chip. So, what causes sperm DNA fragmentation? The first reason for this is cell death or anomalies at the stage of sperm production. The formation of sperm DNA breaks while the sperm cell is transported through the channels and environmental toxins with chemotherapy, radiotherapy can also damage the sperm DNA

What are the Advantages of Sperm Chip?

Especially recommended after unsuccessful male IVF attempts, sperm chip is very valuable in terms of increasing the chance of pregnancy despite the low sperm count.

The reason for the high probability of pregnancy and healthy pregnancies in in vitro fertilization treatments made with sperm chip technology is that the highest quality sperm can be successfully selected during the selection stage. With the selection of sperm without DNA damage, sperm with high quality DNA can adhere to the uterus more easily, increasing the chance of pregnancy.

In addition to IVF treatment, sperm chip technique, which increases the chance of pregnancy in cases with insufficient sperm count, has a higher success rate compared to other assisted reproductive treatments.
