Chip vs. spin: new IVF method aims for healthier embryos
NCT ID NCT03085433
Summary
This study tested a new, gentler method for selecting sperm for IVF. Couples with a history of poor embryo quality were randomly assigned to have sperm prepared either with the standard lab method (centrifugation) or a new microfluidic chip. The chip aims to isolate healthier, more motile sperm without the spinning that can cause DNA damage, potentially leading to better quality embryos.
