This technology generates comprehensive semen analysis result in just 75 seconds. Of the 1000 samples analyzed, only 169 (16.9%) had all normal parameters; while the remaining 831 (83.1%) had abnormal parameters detected from them. Of 606 samples, 357 (58.9%) were Asthenozoospermia; 307 (50.7%) were Necrozoospermia; 101 (16.7%) were Oligoasthenozoospermia; 487 (52.0%) of 937 samples were Oligozoospermia; 172 (17.2%) of the 1000 samples were Hypospermia; 160 (16.0%) were Normozoospermia; while only one (0.2%) of 602 samples was Teratozoospermia.
