SPERM INSPECTION METHOD AND DEVICE

摘要

The present invention addresses the problem of developing a simple sperm inspection method and device for reflecting fertility. In the present invention, a simple sperm inspection method and device having a high correlation with fertility can be provided by suspending a sperm population in an inspection liquid and measuring a quality indicator value for each sperm, stratifying the sperm population on the basis of the sperm quality indicator value, and evaluating the quality of the sperm on the basis of the quality indicator value of one or a plurality of groups in the stratified population. This standard can predict fertility with higher precision through use of a graph in which the quality indicator values for individual sperm of the sperm population are arranged in sequence. Sperm motility is preferably used as a sperm quality indicator.
