CASA - Computer Assisted Semen Analysis
Automatic measuring system for the analysis of semen samples, following WHO criteria or others. Complete modular system allows you to choose modules as per your requirement and compatible accessories. SCA CASA System for semen analysis allows the accurate, repetitive and automatic assessment of the following sperm parameters: Motility & Concentration, Morphology, DNA fragmentation, Vitality, Acrosome reaction and Leukocytes.
Key Features:
Sperm Analysis Standardization – SCA CASA system eliminates inter and intra Lab variation observed in manual sperm evaluation. Large numbers of variables are fast and automatically measured
Advanced analysis – SCA offers several innovations in automatic analysis such as: an intelligent filter for sperm detection; fluorescence analysis for sperm concentration, motility and DNA fragmentation; very low concentration samples analysis; and vacuoles and tails detection in morphology.
Acrosome reaction assay – Fusion of acrosome and cell membranes, releases acrosome content. Acrosome contains enzymes that digest jelly layer of egg. Exposed sperm membrane contains proteins that bind to egg receptors. Sperm acrosomal process membrane fuses with egg. SCA Automatically analyze intact and Acrosome reacted sperm with FluoAcro kit
Sperm Functional test – Automatic analysis of hyperactive and mucus penetration, information about sperms capacity to fertilize the egg.
Reactive Oxygen Species – Oxidative stress is one of the factors responsible for DNA fragmentation in sperm. The assessment of ROS determines the total ROS generated in human semen by leucocytes and spermatozoa which may help in the treatment of male infertility by suitable antioxidants.
Quality control: Internal and External QC available – SCA CASA System includes images and videos for internal quality control. External Quality control, as for instance, Fertaid compatible.
Open & Modular system – Use your existing compatible hardware. Your existing Microscope can be used with compatible specifications. Software modules can be added/upgraded at any point when required. Microscope with the semen system can also be utilized independently for other laboratory work, saving costs.
Diagnostic and treatment – Automatically provides a diagnosis and recommends the best assisted reproduction treatment to follow.
Automation with a motorized stage, the analysis process is fully automatic enabling the examination of 4 slides, without user intervention.
Patient results on-line – Patients can have access to their results and analysis videos on: www.semenanalysis.net
LIS Connectivity and multiple options for Remote working and network solutions.
