Problem
Veterinary assisted reproductive technologies (ART) often rely on centrifugation or specialized media to isolate motile sperm, which can damage cells, introduce variability, and require additional equipment and time.
Solution
VetMotl offers microfluidic sperm separation devices that passively filter stallion semen, delivering high‑motility, high‑quality sperm without centrifugation or special media. The devices work with fresh, frozen, conventional, and sexed samples, preserving mitochondrial activity, DNA integrity, and morphology. By mimicking natural cervical and uterine barriers, the system produces cleaner samples that improve fertilization and blastocyst rates in equine IVF and ICSI protocols. The workflow is ready‑to‑use, requires no additional reagents, and shortens preparation time, enabling more consistent outcomes in both laboratory and field settings.
Target Audience
Primary customers are equine reproductive laboratories, veterinary clinics, and breeding programs that perform IVF, ICSI, or other assisted reproductive technologies for stallions.
