To evaluate the separation efficiency of Ericsson's two- and three-layer albumin separation methods, semen samples from 21 healthy males were studied. Seven patients already had two or more sons, another seven had two or more daughters and the other seven had primary infertility due to female factors. The semen samples were divided into three aliquots: one remained unprocessed initially, the other two aliquots went through two- and three-layer albumin separation methods respectively. All…

Effect of combined density gradient centrifugation on X- and Y- sperm separation and chromatin integrity
- BiologyIranian journal of reproductive medicine
- 2012
Routine separation methods slightly enriched X- or Y- bearing spermatozoa, but the differences were not significant for clinical purposes and the combined alb/PureSperm method had no advantages for assessing sex ratio or chromatin integrity compared to simpler gradient methods.
Separation of Y-chromosome bearing bull ’ s spermatozoa using an albumin gradient technique

Analysis by FISH showed that the albumin gradient technique was not effective to separate the Xand Ychromosome bearing spermatozoa and the percentage of Y-chromosomes recovered following separation by Treatment 2 was higher but not significant compared to Treatment 1.

This review addresses the basic processes of spermatogenesis that have complicated the search for OSSAs, in particular the syncytial development of male germ cells, and the transcriptional dynamics of the sex chromosomes during and after meiosis and proposes that a whole-genome transcriptional approach is the most promising avenue for future research in the field.

This work proposes using a non-uniform electric field to produce dielectrophoresis (DEP) force and manipulate the motion of spermatozoa, and analysis of the variation in the time-averaged velocity finds that the velocity can be increased or decreased significantly.
