Alpha‑Tec ImmunoSpheres® Anti Ig(H&L)

$360.99
Alpha‑Tec’s ImmunoSpheres® are a Immunobead Test (IBT) used to detect the presence or absence of antisperm antibodies (ASA) when screening for immune-mediated male infertility or unexplained infertility in couples. Four ImmunoSphere® reagent kits are available to detect distinct anti-sperm immunoglobulin isotypes: Anti IgA, Anti IgG, Anti IgM and Anti Ig (Heavy and Light chain). Both direct and indirect testing methods can be used with ImmunoSpheres®. Direct testing requires spermatozoa to be washed to remove any free immunoglobulins in the seminal plasma. Indirect testing can be used for reproductive fluids such as seminal plasma, follicular fluid, cervical mucus, as well as serum. A positive test result is defined as ≥ 20% of motile spermatozoa binding to the ImmunoSpheres®; a clinically significant test result produces ≥ 50% of motile spermatozoa being bound. Product packaging may differ from image.

Alpha‑Tec QC-Beads™

$196.99
Alpha‑Tec’s QC-Beads™ are a solution of latex beads that can be used to establish controls during semen analysis. Each ready-to-use kit has known “high” and “low” concentrations of QC-Beads™ that standardize counting parameters. QC-Beads™ can be used to analyze a technician’s manual counting technique using a microscope, or to measure the performance of an automated semen analyzer’s optical system and image processing. Before performing any sperm counting, a daily quality control check using the two concentrations of QC-Beads™ is recommended. Product packaging may differ from image.
2 X 4 ml vials (4 ml of each concentration)

Kit contains two known concentrations of latex beads suspended in aqueous solution

Alpha‑Tec Serum Control Kit

$456.99
Alpha‑Tec Serum Control Kits are used to establish controls during antisperm antibody assays. The Serum Control Kit’s positive serum contains IgA and IgG antibodies, whereas its negative serum contains no detectable antibodies against sperm. Using a positive control during direct sperm antibody testing can overcome the impracticality of using antibody-positive sperm specimens as positive controls. Using a negative control during testing is also recommended. Both Sperm Antibody Positive A/G Serum and Sperm Antibody Negative Serum have been tested and found to be negative for HIV antibodies and hepatitis B surface antigens, however negative results do not guarantee absence of these viruses. Product packaging may differ from image.
1 kit (1 ml of each serum)

Suitable as a control for both direct and indirect sperm antibody assays

Ready to use

Serum is stable, heat inactivated, and undiluted

CARIAD DNA Fragmentation Test (SCD Method)

$1.00
The CARIAD Sperm DNA Fragmentation Kit employs the Sperm Chromatin Diffusion (SCD) method to assess sperm DNA integrity, crucial for male fertility. Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) indicates the presence of sperm with damaged DNA, affecting fertility and reproductive outcomes. This kit is based on the observation that sperm with fragmented DNA do not show the typical halo of dispersed DNA loops seen in sperm with intact DNA, after acid denaturation and removal of nuclear proteins. Additionally, the SCD test can be utilized to evaluate sperm DNA longevity, revealing latent DNA damage not immediately apparent during initial assessments.
20 tests/kit

Contain dithiothreitol lysis solution and Wright staining solution

Easy identification: sperm with fragmented DNA does not show a dispersion halo or the halo is minimal

20 tests/kit, stable for 12 months at 2-8℃

CARIAD Sperm Vitality Staining Solution (Eosin-Nigrosin Staining)

$1.00
The CARIAD Sperm Vitality Staining Solution utilizes the eosin-nigrosin stain method for swift detection of sperm vitality. Dead sperm cells absorb the eosin, resulting in a red stain due to their altered membrane permeability. In contrast, live sperm with intact cell structures remain unstained. The nigrosin provides a black background, enhancing the distinction between live and dead sperm, making observations more straightforward. This ready-to-use solution offers a simple, one-step staining process.
40 tests / kit

WHO recommended method

Ready to use, one-step staining technique

Easy to evaluate with black background: dead sperm’s head is red, live sperm’s head is white or pink after staining
