Technical Features of the SQA-V Gold Automatic Analyzer (WHO 5th Edition):
- Standardizes the complete reading of semen; a reading that, when performed under a microscope, is entirely subjective and incomplete.
- For counting, the analyzer reads millions of sperm from a sample of 330 uL; under a microscope, however, only a few hundred are read from a mere 10 uL;
- For motility, the SQA-V Gold reads tens of thousands of sperm from a sample of 20 uL; under a microscope, however, only a few hundred are read from the same 10 uL;
- The SQA-V Gold automates an examination that others perform manually.
- The analyzer simultaneously manages: photos to print on the patient’s report and a video of the spermiogram for both the patient and the doctor, who can compare sperm motility (after any pharmacological treatment aimed at improving motility, for example) over time with a repeat test after treatment.
- The SQA-V gold analyzer speeds up readings, thanks to its automation, typically taking just 75 seconds, and in doubtful cases, up to 195 seconds.
- Sperm motility is divided according to WHO 5th edition guidelines into three populations (progressive, non-progressive, and immotile). It also determines healthy morphology and 13 additional parameters.
- When turned on, the system performs a self-calibration and a self-control test without additional reagents. It reports sperm count, morphology, and motility, all in both mil/ml and %, and 13 additional parameters. The analyzer does not require sample predilution. Only 330 microliters of sample are needed for counting and 20 microliters for motility.
- The analyzer is managed by external software, V-Sperm. This Windows-based software is easy to use and allows for the storage of an unlimited number of reports.
- All kits for the device are available.
- Quality Control kit (high, low, negative),
- Liquefaction kit, for highly viscous samples,
- Dilution kit, suitable for small-volume samples,
- Aspiration System kit (Capillary), designed to collect and test the sample in a biologically safe manner,
- Cleaning kit for each session,
- Strips for detecting leukocytes and sample pH.
