Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Fertilization failure, sperm preparation methods. Timepoint: Fertilization failure: Diagnosis of file patients before entering the study. Methods of sperm preparation: After sampling, semen is divided into two groups and washed with two methods of preparation.?. Method of measurement: Fertilization failure: Based on patient records, sperm preparation methods: DGC and microfluidics.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Gene expression changes in studied groups. Timepoint: At the end of the study, after freeze-thawed semen. Method of measurement: Real-time PCR.;Sperm parameters. Timepoint: after semen sampling (before preparation) and after both microfluidic and DGC preparation methods. Method of measurement: Semen Analysis( Using Meckler Lam and Light Microscope).;DFI sperm. Timepoint: semen sampling (before preparation) and after both microfluidic and DGC preparation methods. Method of measurement: Halo Method.;Fertilization rate (number of embryos obtained). Timepoint: 18 to 20 hours after ICSI. Method of measurement: Light Microscope.;Quality of obtained embryos. Timepoint: after 48 and 72 hours of ICSI. Method of measurement: Light microscope.
