Alpha‑Tec’s LeucoScreen™ is a simple assay for detecting granulocytes in semen. Elevated levels of white blood cells in semen, also known as leuco-cytospermia, is associated with the production of residual oxidative stress (ROS), which affects sperm parameters such as motility, morphology, and DNA integrity. LeucoScreen™ uses a staining method to visualize the presence of the enzyme peroxidase in cells, in order to determine overall semen quality.
