To choose the best China ASCEN CASA Chamber Slide for the IMV IVOSII or CEROSII Computer-Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) Software System, follow these 6 professional guidelines to ensure optimal compatibility, accuracy, and lab efficiency:
IMV's IVOSII and CEROSII systems have strict optical and dimensional standards. The ASCEN CASA chamber slide must meet the following specs:
Specification | Requirement |
---|---|
Slide size | 76 mm × 25 mm (standard microscope slide) |
Thickness | 1.0 mm glass |
Material | High-transparency optical glass (not plastic) |
Chamber depth | 10 μm or 20 μm depending on sample type |
Microscope mode | Brightfield or phase contrast compatible |
Choose chamber depth based on your sample type and CASA settings:
Sample Type | Recommended Depth |
---|---|
Human sperm (clinical IVF) | 10 µm |
Boar, bull, horse semen (animal AI) | 20 µm |
Tips:
For motility-focused CASA tests → 20 µm offers more accurate trajectory tracking.
Make sure ASCEN slides offer consistent chamber height tolerance (±2 µm).
Look for advanced manufacturing features:
✔️ Capillary fill system (auto sample loading)
✔️ Dual-channel design (for duplicate testing)
✔️ Anti-static surface (prevents sperm clustering)
✔️ Clean optical zone (unobstructed camera recognition)
✔️ No air bubbles or distortion during filling
To prevent contamination and ensure quality control:
Each ASCEN CASA chamber slide should be:
✅ Individually packed
✅ Sterilized by EO or gamma-ray
✅ Labeled with batch number for traceability
This is essential for clinical labs or GMP-compliant animal AI stations.
Choose ASCEN slides with appropriate surface treatments:
Surface Type | Use Case |
---|---|
Hydrophilic coating | Improves even sperm distribution |
Hydrophobic zones | Prevents sample overflow at edges |
Anti-fog coating | Avoids condensation during imaging |
Ensure the surface is optimized for high-resolution CASA image acquisition.
A professional CASA chamber slide should meet the following:
✅ CE, ISO 13485 (for medical or veterinary use)
✅ Batch QC and test report available
✅ Compatible validation data with IMV IVOSII or CEROSII (request from ASCEN)
Model Name | Depth | Compatibility | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
ASCEN-CS10 | 10 µm | Human IVF / Clinical CASA | CE-certified, high accuracy |
ASCEN-CS20 | 20 µm | Animal AI (boar, bovine, etc.) | Double channel, ideal for IVOSII |
