Cytomation, Inc. (www.cytomation.com) manufactures a high-performance modular flow -- MoFlo -- cytometer specially designed for mammalian sperm sorting. The MoFloSX, as it's called, is currently used at numerous commercial and research sites around the world to separate X-chromosome sperm cells from Y- for low-dose in vitro fertilization with gender-selected sperm. However, please be advised that XY, Inc. (www.xyinc.com) holds an exclusive worldwide license from the USDA to employ these methodologies with non-human sperm cells, while Genetics and IVF (www.microsort.net) holds a similar license for humans. Ergo, you may need to contact one or the other to obtain a license to sort sperm cells utilizing flow cytometry. In any event, let us know if you need more information or desire additional performance specs. Good luck in your pursuits.
