SCA Acrosome reaction for Toxicology

SCA® Acrosome reaction is a module that automatically provides the percentage of acrosome intact and acrosome reacted spermatozoa in semen sample of mouse and rat.

This analysis module is also
available for Human and Veterinary.

Acrosome reaction is one of the most important sperm functional tests.

This test measures in the first instance the percentage intact acrosomes of washed/diluted sperm samples. The next step is that we use a biological substitute to induce the acrosome reaction such as Ca++ ionophore.

SCA® Acrosome reaction main features

Acrosome reaction analysis with FluoAcro

Analysis is performed under fluorescence microscopy, in samples stained with FluoAcro kit, that allows the differentiation between acrosome intact sperm (bright green) and acrosome reacted sperm (blue).

Acrosome reaction automatic analysis

Spermatozoa are recognized and classified automatically.
