title = "Active higher quality sperm separation using a spiral channel",
abstract = "This study successfully demonstrated active separation of higher quality sperm from lower quality sperm without using sperm motility by flow-focusing of normally shaped sperm in a spiral channel. Basic principles of spiral channel separations were used to design a specific spiral channel and flow parameters for separating normal shaped sperm. The implemented channel was verified in a series of experiments with fresh semen samples. Viability and morphology test results showed enrichment of higher quality sperm in the outer outlet of the channel and processing caused minimal damage to healthy sperm, showing the potential for this technique to be used clinically.",
