Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for men who have difficulties with fertility to compare two methods for processing semen. Participants will provide semen samples that will be tested to see which method results in better sperm quality.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I have at least 5 million moving sperm per ml in my semen
- I can provide an ejaculated semen sample
- My semen volume is at least 1.5 ml
You may not be able to join if
- I have less than 5 million moving sperm per ml in my semen
- I cannot provide an ejaculated semen sample

About This Trial
Infertility affects many couples, with male infertility being a common cause. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an effective treatment, but its success rates are not high. Semen quality can affect IVF outcomes, and the current method used to process semen can damage the sperm and DNA. Scientists are now testing a new method called microfluidic chip technology, which reduces DNA damage and increases …
