Abstract:
The invention in the simplest form is a passive method and apparatus for filtering motile sperm from a sperm sample. The invention passively filters the motile sperm using a membrane assembly disposed in a container. In operation, a sperm sample is placed on one side of the membrane assembly, and the motile sperm migrate through the membrane where they can be easily extracted.
