Nidacon Sperm VitalStain 2 x 10 ml
(SVS-010)
Optimized one step staining technique for assessment of sperm motility and morphology.
One of the basic tools used in semen analysis, sperm vitality assessment is a key component of successful breeding. Sperm VitalStain, which contains both eosin and nigrosine, is part of Nidacon’s optimised sperm vitality assessment staining technique. Based on the principle that dead cells (i.e., those with a damaged plasma membrane) will absorb the eosin and exhibit a red stain. Nigrosine is used as a counterstain to facilitate visualization of the unstained (white) live cells.
Features
SpermVitalStain uses the eosin-nigrosine technique in a one-step method to establish the percentage of live spermatozoa. It is based on the principle that dead cells (i.e. those with damaged plasma membranes) will take up the eosin and stain red. Nigrosine provides the background to facilitate visualisation of the unstained (white) live cells.
