Bicarbonate-Formalin Formula - Precision Formulation for Semen Analysis and Sperm Counting

Product Overview

Sperm Diluting Fluid is a specialized isotonic solution designed for the dilution, immobilization, and visualization of spermatozoa in semen analysis. Commonly used in manual sperm counts with a hemocytometer or counting chamber, this reagent helps facilitate accurate assessment of sperm concentration, morphology, and motility.

The formulation typically contains:

  • Sodium bicarbonate or sodium sulfate for osmotic balance
  • A mild fixative (such as formalin) to immobilize sperm cells
  • A buffered aqueous base to maintain pH and structural integrity

Sperm Diluting Fluid is used in clinical and veterinary settings for evaluating fertility, diagnosing reproductive conditions, and conducting breeding soundness exams. It ensures that sperm cells remain stable, well-separated, and clearly visible under microscopic examination—essential for reproducible, standardized sperm counts.


Key Features:

  • Facilitates accurate sperm concentration analysis
  • Immobilizes sperm for easy microscopic counting
  • Maintains osmotic and pH stability to preserve cell morphology
  • Compatible with hemocytometer and counting chambers
  • Used in andrology labs, fertility clinics, and veterinary practices
  • Ensures clean background and clear cellular visibility for precise assessment

Sperm Diluting Fluid is an essential tool in reproductive diagnostics and research, supporting reliable quantification and evaluation of sperm samples across a variety of species and laboratory protocols.
