<p>A kit (10) for testing male fertility comprises a vessel (12), a base unit (14), a liquid supply (16) containing liquid (18), and two filters (20,22). The first filter (20) is a sample separation filter (20) which forms a hindrance to transmission of spermatozoa. The second filter (22) of the kit is a spermatozoa detection filter (22) comprising a reagent for identifying spermatozoa. Activation of the kit is prevented until a transport medium, such as the liquid, fills a gap (24) allowing spermatozoa to transmit to a detection zone (26). The kit may be of one-piece construction and utilises a thin piece of filter material to separate motile from non-motile spermatozoa.</p> |
