MicroSort® is a scientifically proven, previous to conception process, that improves the chances that the baby you conceive will be of the desired gender.Semen samples typically contain equal amounts of sperm carrying the Y chromosome (which will produce a boy) and sperm carrying the X chromosome (which will produce a girl).

The MicroSort® process separates the sperm cells in a semen sample based on the amount of DNA they are carrying.  The process results in a sample containing significantly increased percentages of sperm that carry the desired (X or Y) chromosome.

The samples processed by MicroSort® can be used in a wide variety of artificial reproduction techniques, which range from Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) to a full In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycle — that can include intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis/Screening (PGD/PGS), among other procedures.

Only MicroSort® laboratories have the technology to perform this precise sperm sorting procedure. We offer this technology in collaboration with clinics and physicians around the world. The availability of MicroSort® in specific locations is dependent upon local regulations.
