Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

ICSI is an effective method of sperm selection and subsequent egg fertilization. The sample needs to be cleaned in a test tube prior to fertilization. If the sperm sample is of good quality, the swim-up method is used. During this process, the sperm is cleaned with the help of active movement. In cases of low sperm quality, a centrifuge should be used. The cleaned sperm is placed in a special medium and put in a centrifuge, where the motile sperm are separated from the non-motile sperm by centrifuge force. Motile sperm, thanks to centrifugation and movement, remain at the bottom. Using a pipette, the desired sperm sample can be easily extracted from the bottom of the tube. Using a micromanipulator, the selected sperm is sensitively injected into the egg, and thanks to this, a new life is created.
