Collecting the Sperm Sample:
The sperm sample is collected from the male, either through ejaculation or extraction from the testes in some cases.
2
Preparing the Washing Solution:
The washing solution used in sperm washing consists of safe, non-toxic solutions such as HEPES buffer or culture media.
3
Mixing the Sperm Sample with the Solution:
The sperm sample is mixed with the washing solution.
4
Centrifugation:
The mixture is then centrifuged to separate high-quality sperm from unwanted cells and substances.
5
Collecting High-Quality Sperm:
The separated high-quality sperm are collected and washed again with the solution to remove any remaining impurities.
6
Quality Assessment:
The washed sperm are evaluated to ensure that they are of good quality and ready for use in fertilization procedures.
