Our innovative tools simulate the natural barriers of the cervical and uterine pathway that sperm must overcome to fertilize an egg. We enable separation of optimally functional sperm without the use of density gradient centrifugation (DGC). Learn more about the design principles and function of ZyMōt Sperm Separation Devices.
Better for your patients. Better for your practice. Quality, accuracy and productivity are central to the success of a fertility practice. With only 5 minutes of total hands-on tech time per sample, ZyMōt Sperm Separation Devices give providers more confidence and give patients more peace of mind.
Efficient and effective, ZyMōt devices deliver high quality results for a variety of sample types. Samples that are viscous, low concentration, low motility, low volume – or a combination of those properties – can be successfully processed with only 5 minutes of hands-on time. Even frozen samples can be used. See the ZyMōt difference.
Traditional, centrifugation-based preparation methods are physically disruptive to sperm, damaging their DNA and leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ZyMōt is a natural approach, without centrifugation. And the difference is instantly clear: In an independent study of 30 patients, ZyMōt separated the healthiest sperm with the lowest possible levels of DNA fragmentation and significantly reduced ROS.
ZyMōt devices separate the healthiest, most progressively motile sperm, leading to an increase in a sample’s overall motility and progression, and the proportion of sperm with normal morphology. Healthy sperm are more likely to help create healthy embryos and successful pregnancies.
Processing sperm with ZyMōt devices improved patients’ IUI treatment prognosis, when compared to DGC processing. In a study of 265 patients, evenly split between traditional, DGC processing and ZyMōt-processed groups, ZyMōt use significantly improved the ongoing clinical pregnancy rate by almost 10%.
Decades of scientific research has shown that improved sperm health means better clinical outcomes. Building on research from 2019, scientists at Weill-Cornell Medical College examined the diverse impacts of improved genomic integrity. From improving a sample’s level of DNA fragmentation, to helping the most challenging patients, to the prospect of avoiding surgery, this new work shows the positive impacts of using ZyMōt Sperm Separation Devices to avoid centrifugation.
In new research presented at ASRM 2020, two independent studies showed that euploid embryo rates were significantly higher with ZyMōt-processed samples. One study also took particular note of workflow differences: ZyMōt devices save procedural steps and time. Another study examined the impact on pregnancy rates. A significant improvement in ongoing pregnancy was observed with ZyMōt devices.
