The success of fertility treatments depends on various factors and one of the major factors is the quality of oocytes and sperm. Higher DNA fragmentation in sperms can lead to lower male fertility, poor-grade embryos, and a higher chance of miscarriages. Various advancements have been made to select healthy sperms with lower DNA fragmentation, such as, Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorting (MACS). MACS uses specialised magnetic beads to remove apoptotic and damaged sperms. It helps to improve fertility treatment outcomes with IUI, IVF- ICSI.

What Is Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorting and How Does It Work?
Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorting or MACS is a process that allows fertility experts to find the healthiest and most viable sperms from damaged or apoptotic sperm cells. The treatment involves using specialised magnetic beads coated with unique antibodies that bind to molecules present in defective sperm. When the semen sample passes through the magnetic beads, it gets attached to the damaged sperms, and the magnetic field attracts all poor-quality sperm cells, leaving behind the good-quality sperm cells. The process can thus improve the success rate of pregnancy in IVF and IUI treatments.
