The Panel
| Biomarker | Unit and Definition | Why It Is Tracked |
|---|---|---|
| Progressive Motility | % PR, sperm moving actively forward | Correlates with natural fertilisation potential; microfluidic channels isolate the fastest, most linear swimmers. |
| Curvilinear Velocity (VCL) | um/s, total point-to-point distance per unit time | Measures raw propulsion and mitochondrial flagellar power output. |
| Straight-Line Velocity (VSL) | um/s, straight distance start to end | Key indicator of directional efficiency in microfluidic fluid dynamics. |
| Total Motile Sperm Count (TMSC) | Volume x Concentration x % Motility | Widely used in andrology as a summary measure of fertilising capacity. |
| DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) | % fragmented DNA, TUNEL / SCSA assay | Genomic integrity; indicator of oxidative stress and metabolic state. |
| Total & Free Testosterone | ng/dL and pg/mL, serum panel | Core androgen metric linked to spermatogenesis, performance and systemic health. |
| Seminal Plasma pH & Buffering | pH units | Ensures a viable environment for cellular survival and flagellar action during processing. |
