Portable sperm analyzer AndroScope

Germany Minitube launched a portable CASA system-AndroScope. This AndroScope is a compact mobile CASA system based on a Minitube AndroVision platform, which can be said to be a reduced version of the AndroVision.

Application: The AndroScope is small in size, only 14X8.5X4CM, and weighs only 612 grams, which can be easily carried in any pocket. Although the AndroScope is small in size, its hardware function is not ambiguous at all. It is not only equipped with a high-speed camera to capture any dynamics of sperm, but also has a manual focal length adjustment function, which is convenient for customers to adjust the focal length and replace detection films with different depths. What's more, it has an automatic heating function. After the detection piece is inserted into the detection port, the machine can heat the detection piece to 38 ℃ in just a few seconds to ensure that the sperm can detect the parameters at the right temperature.

For your daily possibilities: AndroScope can detect species is also very rich, from common such as pigs, cattle, small ruminants (sheep and camels, etc.) to small applications in the field of horses, dogs and poultry, etc., each species has a corresponding research and development of sperm calculation model. AndroScope can not only detect the vitality and density of fresh semen, but also recheck the quality of semen after normal temperature storage and cryopreservation.

Vitality and density are clear at a glance: AndroScope can use USB3.0 to connect desktop computers, notebook computers and tablet computers. You can check semen status in real time on the computer or tablet screen through software, and analyze sperm vitality (including total vitality, fast linear movement, slow linear movement, circular movement, in-situ circular movement and stationary sperm; There are also sperm movement parameters such as VCL, VSL, etc.) and density. The AndroScope supports generating PDF report files, and the report supports customizing the company logo and information. You can save the report files and share them with others. AndroScope operation is simple, you only need to click the mouse or touch screen, and you can get the result in a few seconds.

Detection anytime and anywhere: The portable sperm analyzer is AndroScope equipped with a suitcase, which is equipped with semen detection equipment and consumables, including: AndroScope host, USB data cable, U disk with analysis software, Minitube four-chamber detection piece, 2ml centrifuge tube and disposable capillary pipette. Anytime, anywhere, you just need to open the box, connect the AndroScope to your computer or tablet, and you can start analyzing semen immediately.

From CASA: Of course, for semen testing equipment, AndroScope as an out-and-out CASA system, this is beyond doubt. The researchers used both AndroVision and AndroScope to perform a comparative analysis of semen, as well as a statistical analysis. In terms of total sperm motility, R2 (coefficient of determination) * = 0.94, sperm linear motility R2 = 0.97, and semen density R2 = 0.93.

* R2 (coefficient of determination): a numerical characteristic that represents the relationship between a random variable and multiple random variables. When R2 = 1, it means that there is a correlation between the two.

No additional investment: AndroScope as a portable semen testing device, there is no need to purchase consumables and no additional cost to use it. AndroScope support Minitube and Leja four-chamber slides, as well as the use of slides and coverslips to measure semen viability.

The semen density detected using slides and coverslips can be skewed due to the unquantifiable height of fluid within the slides and coverslips.

Portable sperm analyzer AndroScope can provide convenient test results for small boar stations, sow farms, semen sales, semen testing and other personnel, help you understand the status and information of semen in the preservation, transportation and use of semen, and help you make the next decision. In addition, Minitube has also introduced a matching portable sample heating instrument, which can heat 6 samples at the same time, supports computer and charging treasure power supply, and is convenient for you to preheat the sample and test piece when testing semen.
