NuSep’s SpermSep business focusses on the selection of the most viable sperm from semen samples for use in fertility treatments including IVF for humans and various artificial reproductive techniques (ART) for animals.

Artificial Insemination (AI) is widespread in developed countries. In the USA over 90% of the nation’s dairy cows are bred by AI, and the use of AI by commercial swine producers is currently 70 – 75%. In the EU, almost 90% of pigs and dairy cows are produced by AI.

Artificial Reproductive Technology (ART) in veterinary applications such as IVF is a high cost business, and there is a continuing search for lower cost processes. Better sperm selection techniques are needed to increase the number of successful embryos generated per insemination.

NuSep is also collaborating with Minitüb GmbH and Ludwig Maxmillian University, Munich in developing application products for the animal fertility research and animal AI markets. Minitüb GmbH are the leading supplier of products to the ART market.
