Sperm selection methods

Sperm selection methods are techniques used to choose the healthiest and most viable sperm for fertilization, often used in fertility treatments. Common methods include swim-up, where sperm that swim best are collected from a sample, and density gradient centrifugation, which separates sperm based on size and density. These processes help increase the chances of successful conception by selecting sperm with the best motility and morphology, ultimately aiming to improve the outcome of assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF). Each method enhances the likelihood of a healthy embryo developing.
