Mikrochip Method

The microchip method is used in vaccination treatment, which is first tried after the diagnosis of infertility. It is a method that is successful in selecting quality sperms in vaccination. It is preferred because it increases the pregnancy rate. The sperms, which are normally selected by examining with a microscope for sperm selection, are selected with special tools in the microchip method. In the meantime, sperms with DNA defects are eliminated and the best quality ones are separated.

What is Microchip Vaccination?

The microchip method is a method used in infertility treatment and increases the chance of pregnancy in people who want to have a baby. Compared to the normal vaccination method, the best quality sperms are selected in microchip vaccination and thus the chance of pregnancy is increased. In microchip vaccination, the best quality sperms are detected and used in fertilisation. Sperm cells that are immobile or have a damaged DNA structure are eliminated and healthy sperm are selected. The microchip used in vaccination is applied in cases with good sperm count.

To whom is microchip vaccination performed?

Microchip application is applied to individuals with male infertility. Male infertility is a condition related to sperm quality. The best quality sperm is taken with microchip application. Microchip vaccination is performed on people who have been diagnosed with infertility and have low sperm quality. In couples who have regular unprotected intercourse but cannot achieve pregnancy, it is applied to select the best quality sperm among the sperm in the man. It may not be applied to everyone diagnosed with infertility. In this case, the correct selection of the patient is important. Proper sperm preparation helps to achieve success with the right treatment and techniques.

How is microchip applied?

In microchip application, sperms taken from the man are analysed. In this method, which uses special solutions, sperm quality and morphology are also affected by these solutions. Sperm with impaired morphology are separated by this method. The best quality sperms are then used for in vitro fertilisation or in vitro fertilisation. In sperm selection methods used for vaccination, washing is normally performed and the sperm may be damaged. However, with the microchip method, none of the sperms are selected without any damage.

Why is Microchip Preferred?

The microchip method is preferred because it is a more successful method of selecting the best sperm that will capture pregnancy among sperm. Thanks to the microchip method, the DNA disorders of the sperm are detected and better sperms are selected, so the possibility of conception is high. Millions of sperm are released into the vagina in one intercourse. Sperm that can pass through the mucus barrier in the cervix move towards the tubes. The sperm with the best motility and morphology fertilises the egg and forms the embryo. Based on the selection of the best sperms in this naturally progressing process, it is desired to select these good sperms in the microchip application. The chance of pregnancy increases by 40% with the microchip method.

What is the Difference Between Chip Baby and IVF?

Chip baby and IVF methods go through similar stages, but they differ at one point. The difference between chip baby and IVF is to select and inject the best quality sperms in the microchip method. Special devices and solutions are used in the sperm selection phase with the microchip method. In IVF treatment, sperms are normally examined and selected under a microscope. Since sufficient information about the sperm cannot be obtained, the microchip method is considered more appropriate. While sperms are selected in the microchip method, those with defects in DNA structure can also be detected. Thus, the ones that will increase the chance of conception the most are selected.

What are the Advantages of Microchip IVF Treatment?

In microchip IVF treatment; microinjection by selecting the sperms with the best DNA structure and close to natural by using microfluidic technology with microchip method can increase the chance of success. In IVF microinjection, the microchip method can be used to select a sufficient number of motile spermatozoa, and it can also be used to select less motile spermatozoa. Thus, a healthier baby is born. At the same time, it helps both financially and morally in a short time without constant trials.

Microchip Method Prices

Microchip method prices may be different due to the use of different materials compared to the normal vaccination method. Special kits and solutions are used for the microchip method. This method has been created for the separation of better quality sperms from others. The chance of pregnancy increases with the microchip method. You can contact Assoc. Dr Çiğdem Yayla Abide, who successfully performed the microchip method, and get information about prices.
