CASASPERM CLASS ANALYZER

MICROPTIC, 20 YEARS SPECIALIZEDIN THE SEMEN ANALYSIS

Innovator in the development of the world’s
most advanced CASA (Computer aidedsemen analysis) system. With a dynamic
and highly qualified staff, we develop ourproducts in collaboration with research
centres of great impact in the sector.

SCA®, THE MOST ADVANCEDMODULAR CASASCA® is a modular automatic analysis system for theconcentration, motility, morphology, DNA fragmentationand vitality of the semen samples.

MOTILITY AND
CONCENTRATIONMORPHOLOGYDNAFRAGMENTATIONVITALITYRELIABLE AND RAPID ANALYSIS
Allows the accurate and objective analysis of a wide range of sperm kinematic, morphologic, DNA and vitality
parameters as well as develop new analysis settings that adapt to new animal species or races.

STANDARDIZATION AND TRACEABILITY

SCA® allows the analysis standardization, results recording and traceability, obtaining reliable data and thus
minimizing the risk due to the human factor.

RELIABLE DATA FOR SCIENTIFIC PAPERS1SCA® system has been widely used in animal research , being versatile enough to suit a wide range of animalspecies, from invertebrates to mammals, including rodents, even has proven to be useful in the study ofmicroalgae growth.

AUTOMATIONWith motorized stage, the analysis process is fully automatic enabling the examination of 4 slides or counting
chambers consecutively, without the presence of the technologist.

SCA® TOXICOLOGY COMPLIES THE NORM 21 CFR11

SCA® is ready for the automatic analysis of rat and mouse sperm. Contains all files needed for the safety andregulatory documentation for the 21 CFR11 compliance and has been validated in centres of great impact.

PORTABLE SYSTEM

The laptop configuration allows the SCA® to be transported anywhere in the field, enabling e.g. animal fertility
studies during the breeding season, in situ.

SCA® EVOLUTION INNOVATIONS
Since it was launched in 1997, the SCA® sperm analyzer has
been in continuous development, improving in each version theanalysis algorithms, and including the latest state-of-the-art
technology and ultimate research findings. Find here some ofthe last innovations:

ADVANCED ANALYSISSCA® evolution contains many innovations inanimal sperm analysis including:
Rapid morphology analysis of dropletsand coiled tails; acrosome integrity underphase contrast; intelligent filter for
sperm detection; fluorescence analysis
in concentration and motility, DNA
fragmentation and vitality; morphology
and morphometry of stained samples,
including analysis of the tail length.

NEW INTERFACE

The design of the new application is fully
customizable, making it user-friendly.

IMAGES AND GRAPHICS

New graphics to enhance the visualizationof the results and comparison of the fields
captured. It allows the user to select theimage that appears in the report.

CUSTOMIZABLE
DYNAMIC TABLES

It enables to synthesize all the databaseresults into subgroups and create customstatistics.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS:ALWAYS BE ONE STEP AHEAD

ADAPTED TO THE NEWTECHNOLOGIESIt works with multi-touch screen, multiscreen, leap motion1 and portable devices.
The motorized stage can be directly
controlled by touching the screen or by thehands movement.

INTERACTIVE TOOLSIt allows the measurement of distances,areas and perimeters, besides modifying
the analysis configuration in real time,displaying automatically the changes in theanalyzed image.

CREATING SUBPOPULATIONSIt enables to create analysis subpopulations,adding the desired parameters and limits,and displays graphs and reports of theanalyzed sort.

AUTOMATICALLYEXPORT TO EXCELThe analysis data can be easily exported
to Excel. Additionally, the user can makequeries in the database to recall the desiredresults.

SCA® PRODUCTION FOR THE ANALYSIS AND
PRODUCTION OF ANIMAL SEMEN DOSES

System appointed to animal semen
production stations that need to make aquick and simple analysis of the ejaculate,to calculate the optimal number of doses
they can produce.

SOME ADVANTATGESOF THE SCA® PRODUCTION
AUTOMATIC ANALYSISSCA Production analyzes the concentration, motility,droplets and coiled tails automatically.
Optionally morphology and acrosome are analyzed interactively in phase contrast.
®

AUTOMATIC CALCULATION OF THE OPTIMAL DOSES

With the obtained data, the optimal number of doses with the concentration andsuitable volume of extender are calculated.

DATABASE AND ANIMAL MONITORING

It includes a user-friendly database giving impressive reports. Optionally it enables tostatistically monitor the animal production with evolution graphs.
