  • Use of a composition which regulates oxidation/reduction reactions intracellularly and/or extracellulary in a staining or sorting process
    Patent number: 7998700
    Abstract: Staining mixtures comprising viable spermatozoa, a composition which regulates oxidation/reduction reactions intracellularly or extracellularly, and a DNA selective dye are disclosed. The cells contained in such suspensions tend to have a greater capacity for enduring the various process steps typically associated with the sorting of sperm cells into gender enriched populations, thereby resulting in post-sort compositions with an increased number of viable or motile sperm. Processes for staining sperm cells comprising the formation of a staining mixture are also disclosed.

  • Process for storing a sperm dispersion
    Patent number: 7892725
    Abstract: Processes of storing sorted and unsorted spermatozoa, in the form of a sperm dispersion, having reduced motility relative to endogenous ejaculated sperm are disclosed. The immotile spermatozoa of the dispersion tend to have a greater capacity for enduring the rigors associated with storage, transportation, and fertilization procedures. Processes for providing such sperm dispersions, for inseminating a female mammal with such sperm dispersions, as well as compositions and combinations comprising the sperm dispersions, are also disclosed.

  • Process for the staining of sperm
    Patent number: 7335507
    Abstract: Sperm cells are stained according to processes that involve the combining of sperm cells with a fluorescent DNA selective dye at an elevated temperature in excess of about 40° C. The methods allow for a decreased staining time. The cells may thereafter be efficiently sorted according to common separation methods, including flow cytometry.
