Abstract

This paper reports a microfluidic system which can continuously sort motile sperms from semen sample based on sheath flow and the motility of sperms. Besides, we also dilute the normal semen samples to imitate the oligozoospermia patient for the viability enhancement and sorting efficiency by using the developed microfluidic chip.
