Nidacon ReadySwim

ReadySwim™ is a sterile isotonic salt solution. It is optimised for use in the swim-up method for the selection of motile sperm from liquefied human ejaculates, one of the sperm preparation procedures used in Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART).

Specifically for swim-up, optimized, ready to use

What is "swim-up?"

In vivo, motile sperm quickly migrate from liquefying semen into the cervix, thereby removing themselves from the presences of both seminal plasma and reactive oxygen species arising from cell debris. In the andrology laboratory, this process can be imitated by allowing the sperm to swim into a layer of medium, the so-called "swim-up" method, thereby separating them from the remainder of the ejaculate.

Excellent sperm recovery, motility, and survival

The formulation of ReadySwim™ is ionically balanced to avoid premature hyperactivation. Sudden pH and osmolarity changes during the movement of sperm from the semen sample to the fertilization medium are minimized. Avoiding premature hyperactivation conserves energy resources, and improves fertilization potential.
