A method of qualifying sperm cells is provided. The method comprising: (a) staining the sperm cells with acridine orange so as to obtain stained sperm cells; and (b) using a fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS), gating events simultaneously stained with a green fluorescence intensity higher than 100 nm and red fluorescence intensity in a range selected from 20-1010 nm, the events representing a cell population of the stained sperm cells, wherein a percentage of the cell population is indicative of the quality of the sperm cells. |
