DNA fragmentation index in Semen by Flow cytometry (FC)

DNA fragmentation index Smn FC-sRto

Definition

  • Data for red and green fluorescence are collected by flow cytometry and transformed to determine the degree of red fluorescence in the sperm population, known as the DNA fragmentation index (DFI). DFI measures abnormal chromatin structure.
