Description
halosperm G2 has been developed in response to the needs of users of the Sperm Chromatin Dispersion (SCD) test for assessing sperm DNA fragmentation in humans.
Intact unfixed sperm are immersed in an inert agarose microgel on a pretreated slide. An initial acid treatment denatures DNA in those sperm cells with fragmented DNA. Following this, the lysis solution removes most of the nuclear proteins.
When absence of massive DNA breakage is present, nucleoids from the sperm with fragmented DNA either, do not show a dispersion halo or the halo is minimal. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity is 93%.
