Gynemed SemenStain, Reagent 1

Gynemed SemenStain, Reagent 1

For Assessment of Ejaculate. Reagent 1 is a component of Gynemed semenstain kit.

SemenStain is a quick-staining-method to assess the morphology of spermatozoa (spermiogram). This method is composed of a staining kit which allows differential staining of the different sperm parts due to their specific basophilic, eosinophilic and neutrophilic properties.

Principle: The sperm cells are fixed. Here, the succedan-staining technique is used, which means, three dyes are used one after the other and it results in differential staining of different tissues with individual dyes.

Evaluation: Evaluate the sperms with immersion oil at 1000x magnification on the side of the slide with lower sperm density. Here the sperms are better to 

assess individually.

• Head - Nucleus: Red
• Head - Acrosome: Dark green
• Middle part: Pale green
• Tail: Green
