We will investigate potential correlation between SpermComet DNA fragmentation assay results and IVF cycle outcome.
A "SpermComet" assay will be used to characterize DNA fragmentation of surplus sperm samples remaining after in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. We will investigate potential correlation between these assay results and the outcomes of IVF cycles that used those sperm samples.
