Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting (MACS)
Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting (MACS) is a cutting-edge technology that has revolutionized infertility treatment in recent years. This advanced technique allows for selecting and separating specific cell populations with high precision and efficiency, offering new possibilities for improving the success rates of assisted reproductive treatments.
MACS utilizes magnetic nanoparticles coated with specific antibodies to target and bind to cells expressing certain surface markers. In the context of infertility treatment, this technology is applied to selectively separate healthy sperm or embryos from those with abnormalities or DNA fragmentation. By isolating the highest quality reproductive cells, MACS helps optimize the chances of successful fertilization and embryo development. This targeted approach not only improves the efficiency of assisted reproductive techniques but also enhances the overall quality of reproductive material used, leading to improved outcomes for individuals undergoing infertility treatments.
