ANDROVISION® SOFTWARE MODULE: VIABILITY (MEMBRANE INTEGRITY) This veterinary product is a software module integrated with the AndroVision® system for computer-assisted semen analysis, enabling automatic assessment of sperm membrane integrity through viability testing using fluorescence.

Main Benefits

Automatic determination of the percentage of sperm with intact plasma membranes using dual fluorescence staining test Supports quality control of fresh or thawed semen samples to detect fertility Disorders or low-quality ejaculates before use Suitable for multiple animal species when used with the AndroVision® system

Composition

Software module (Viability module for AndroVision® system, reference 12500/1400) Compatible fluorescent staining kits such as Hoechst 33342/PI or SYBR14/PI (e.g., staining kit reference 15407/0009) for up to 100 tests

Usage Method

Used with the AndroVision® system for semen analysis (CASA) and a compatible fluorescence microscope Fluorescent stain is applied to semen samples; the software module then automatically distinguishes between sperm with intact and damaged membranes based on staining patterns A qualified veterinarian must determine the appropriate staining protocol and analysis criteria based on the animal species, sample type, and clinical context

Package Size

Software module (reference 12500/1400) sold separately for integration into AndroVision® systems Staining kits (such as Hoechst 33342/PI or SYBR14/PI) typically supplied for up to 100 tests (reference 15407/0009)

Note

This software module enhances the AndroVision® system's ability to assess sperm viability functions, complementing modules for motility, concentration, morphology, and other functions such as acrosome integrity, mitochondrial activity, and DNA integrity.
