At Cyprus IVF Hospital, we continuously adopt the latest laboratory innovations to improve our patients’ chances of success. One of these advanced tools is ZyMōt, a microfluidic sperm selection device designed to identify and separate the healthiest sperm for fertilisation.
What is ZyMōt?
ZyMōt is a small, single-use device that mimics the natural selection process that occurs inside the female reproductive tract. Instead of using traditional laboratory techniques like centrifugation, which can sometimes cause stress or damage to sperm, ZyMōt allows only the most motile and morphologically normal sperm to swim through a micro-channel. The result is a sample enriched with the healthiest sperm, ready to be used in procedures such as IVF or ICSI.
When is ZyMōt used?
ZyMōt is particularly beneficial for:
It is not suitable when the semen sample has extremely poor motility or lacks sufficient progressively motile sperm, as minimum thresholds are required for effective selection.
Benefits of ZyMōt
By creating a more natural selection environment, ZyMōt helps our embryologists work with the best possible sperm cells, which can positively influence embryo development and overall treatment outcomes.
A Step Forward in Male Fertility Care
While ZyMōt is not a guarantee of pregnancy, it represents another step forward in refining the IVF process and giving every couple the best opportunity for success. At Cyprus IVF Hospital, we combine advanced technologies like ZyMōt with personalised care — because every detail matters on the journey to parenthood.
