Download SPERM HY-LITER POWERPOINT

SPERM HY-LITER™ uses specific fluorescent labeling to microscopically idenfity human sperm.

• Bring microscopic sperm searching into the 21st century!
• Sperm identification from Sexual Assault Evidence
• Human-specific: fluorescent monoclonal antibody detection
• No more guessing on morphology: conclusive identification!
• Rapidly scan slides at lower magnification: they glow!
• Quick and easy location of sperm obscured by debris and epithelial cells
• Meet new audit standards for evidence preservation
• Document your results: clear photographic record for the case file
• Compatible with standard fluorescent microscopes and Laser Capture Microdissection (DAPI and Flourescent filters)
   

Staining of a post-coital vaginal swab slide using SPERM HY-LITER™:


Slide 1

• Morphological identification of sperm by bright field and/or phase contrast microscopy: cells, debris, and sperm all appear similar 

• Sperm are obscured by cells and debris

Slide 2

• DAPI staining with fluorescent microscopy identifies sperm and epithelial cell nuclei
   
• Cell nuclei are clearly identified

• Fluorescent microscopy identifies only human sperm heads
   
• Sperm heads are clearly identified
   
• Previously concealed sperm are easily observed
