Improving IVF, ICSI and IUI treatment results with the SwimCount™ Harvester

MDR CE Mark regulatory approval

The SwimCount™ Harvester combines MotilityCount ApS’ patented technology with intuitive design, taking sperm preparation into a very safe and user friendly design.

The technology is available both for Human Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and Animal reproduction.

The SwimCount™ Harvester is a purification device that mimics the natural selection of the best Progressive Motile Sperm Cells (PMSCs), with very few manipulation steps. The PMSCs recovered show improved sperm quality parameters, especially an increased number of PMSCs with a very low DNA Fragmentation and a better Morphology.

Today sperm preparation is performed using Density Gradient Centrifugation (DGC) and/or Swim-Up. Both technologies have their limitations because:

Centrifugation may have a negative impact on the quality of the sperm cells.
DGC is very time consuming with 13 steps vs. the SwimCountTM Harvester with only 4 steps.
The DGC procedure, due to the many steps, carry an increased risk of mixing up samples and thus requires very high Laboratory procedure skills.

The SwimCount™ Harvester sperm selection methodology reduces the number of steps necessary to perform the selection technique to the lowest level possible, decreasing the risk of human error, saving time and amount of cultivation media needed.
