Α COMPARATIVE STUDY ΟΝ ISOLATING SPERMATOCYTES AFTER SWIM-UP, MINI-PERCOLL AND AFTER PROCESSING WITH FOLLICULAR FLUID (hFF)
Abstract
Ιn this comparative study we found that fertile specimens are treated equally well with either Swim-up technique or h.F.F. The contrary is true fοr subfertile specimens that are rather treated with the Percoll-method.References
