Sperm sorting sex selection
Skip navigation. MicroSort, developed in by the Genetics and IVF Institute, is a form of pre- conception sex selection technology for humans. Laboratories located around the world use MicroSort technology to help couples increase their chances of conceiving a child of their desired sex. MicroSort separates male sperm cells based on which sex chromosome they contain, which results in separated semen samples that contain a higher percentage of sperm cells that carry the same sex chromosome. The technology ultimately enables couples to choose the sex of their future child by choosing semen samples that predominately contain sperm with the X chromosome for a female or Y chromosome for a male. MicroSort technology is a sperm sorting technique that provides couples worldwide a means of pre- conception sex selection.




Sperm sorting




Choosing your baby's sex: Is it possible?
Flow cytometric sorting can be used to separate sperm based on sex chromosome content. Differential fluorescence emitted by stained X- vs. Y-chromosome-bearing sperm enables sorting and collection of samples enriched in either X- or Y-bearing sperm for use to influence the likelihood that the offspring will be a particular sex. Herein we report the effectiveness of flow cytometric sorting of human sperm and its use in human ART procedures.



Sperm separation method may allow sex selection in IVF
Tree of Life Center is a Microsort sperm sorting clinic. Microsort is the only method for intrauterine insemination IUI gender selection. Many clinics provide sperm spinning by weight, also known as Erickson's method, but that method can not compare to the micro sorting technology. While this technology is not mainstream and not suited for every patient, there are particular cases where sperm micro sorting might offer the solution for family balancing. Very few places in the world maintain access to this technology, and we are happy to include it in the repertoire of our services.
