CASA - SAMi

SAMi is a CASA (computer assisted semen analysis) system developed by reproductive scientists for routine use in an assisted conception or pathology lab setting or for research.

Sperm quality data is validated and supported by peer reviewed publication showing parity with the haemocytometer (World Health Organization recommended). Manpower savings of on average 14-15 minutes per sample are achievable using SAMi when compared to WHO recommended (WHO, 2010) methods for sperm concentration and motility. With the bonus of considerably improved reproducibility and objective measures of motility.
