Comparing sperm sorting methods for better genetic testing in IVF
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of preparing sperm for IVF (a microfluidic chip versus a centrifuge method). It aims to see which method leads to more genetically normal embryos (euploid) when doing PGT (pre-implantation genetic testing).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 43 years old when starting IVF medications.
- You plan to have a special genetic test (PGT) on your embryos for a known genetic condition or chromosome problem.
- The sperm sample for fertilization must contain enough moving sperm (at least 0.15 million per mL or 100 moving sperm in a low-power field).
- You are not using frozen sperm for the procedure.
- You are not using donor eggs or donor sperm.
- You do not have an untreated fibroid or fluid-filled tube (hydrosalpinx) seen on an ultrasound.

This study compares two methods of preparing sperm for fertility treatments: a new microfluidic chip method and the standard density-gradient centrifugation method. It aims to find which method gives better sperm quality for procedures like IVF or ICSI.
This trial tests whether checking embryos for extra or missing chromosomes (aneuploidy) before transfer improves IVF success for women aged 37-41. You may be eligible if you have a partner or are using donor sperm and have normal ovarian reserve.
This trial compares a new way of testing embryos (PIMS) with the standard method (PGT-A) for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who are doing IVF. The goal is to see which method helps more women have a successful pregnancy.
This study compares two ways of preparing sperm for IVF when you are also doing genetic testing of embryos (PGT-A). One method uses a microfluidic chip, and the other is the standard spinning technique. The goal is to see which method leads to better embryo development.
This trial tests two ways of preparing sperm for IVF. One method uses a special device, and the other uses a standard lab technique. The goal is to see if the device works as well as the standard method for men with high sperm DNA damage.
