The NucleoCounter® SP-100™ Sperm Cell Counter offers unique ease of use and effective determination of total sperm concentration and sperm viability in a semen sample from ejaculates or extended doses.

The NucleoCounter® SP-100™ is very simple to operate and the measurements can be performed by operators with only limited training in laboratory work. The compact instrument fits perfectly in any research, quality control or production site.

The measurement range of the NucleoCounter® SP-100™ is virtually unlimited due to dilution prior to the analysis.

SP-100™ Key features:

  • Easy operation
  • 30 sec. analysis time
  • No cleaning or calibration
  • Excellent reproducibility
  • No interference from gel particles in semen
  • No interference from egg yolk or milk in extender

NucleoCounter® SP-100™ – Highest Precision in Counting Sperm Cells

Determination of Cell Viability in Sperm Cell Sample

The NucleoCounter® SP-100™ concept offers determination of cell viability in addition to the total count of cells in the sperm sample. Determination of viability is based on the “PI-exclusion” method (the principle is presented below).

Measuring Sperm Cell Viability

Cell Viability (the membrane integrity) can be measured with the NucleoCounter® SP-100™ in a two-step procedure by measuring the difference between the total cell count and the non-viable cell count (see the figure below).
When a sample is diluted with Reagent S100 a lysis of the viable cell membrane takes place rendering all the cell nuclei susceptible to staining with propidium iodide (PI) resulting in a total cell count.

Non-viable cells diluted with PBS (Phosphate Buffer Saline) are however permeable without treatment and are therefore stained directly with PI, resulting in a non-viable cell count. The difference between the two measurements provides the viable cell count – or % Viability.
