Iranian Scientist Invents Smart Sperm Preparation Device
“The smart sperm preparation device is designed based on the normal morphology of sperm and removal of the problems of the routine methods,” Mohammad Javad Sarvqadi, a medical student at Islamic Azad University’s Mashhad branch and the CEO of ‘Nikzad Sarv Gostar’ company, told ANA on the sidelines of ‘Asreh Omid Event’.
He added that the results of tests on the device have been published in several creditable journals, noting that the aim of this invention is to prepare a sperm sample in the shortest possible time, unlike common methods.
“Another purpose for the development of this device is to have the ability to separate the sperm that have damaged DNA, which is not possible in common methods. The chance of successful fertilization increases significantly thanks to the isolation of sperm with good morphology and with the least amount of DNA damage,” Sarvqadi said.
“The smart sperm preparation device does not depend on any chemicals or equipment, including a centrifuge, for sperm sample preparation. This independency can have a positive effect on the health of the sperm and the chances of successful fertilization,” he added.
Sarvqadi described the most important and fundamental goal of his invention as the reduction of the costs of infertility treatment for couples as well as the side costs for laboratory tests and increasing the fertility rate as well.
Islamic Azad University's "second step of revolution" under the title of Asreh Omid Event was held in Tehran's Mosalla from May 29 to June 01, 2022 to exhibit new achievements, equipment and products in the technological and innovation arenas in line with opening new windows towards strengthening the idea of creating ground for knowledge-based businesses at the 40th anniversary of establishment of the Islamic Azad University.
