    sperm penetration assay

Note

  • A negative hamster test appears to predict infertility of men with some accuracy. If spermatozoa of certain men yield less than 10% penetration rates, their chance of being fertile is very low because a) a negative result means that the spermatozoa have difficulties in becoming capacitated and acrosome-reacted and b) the spermatozoa of virtually all men of proven fertility give penetration rates higher than 10%.
