CP200 - Fully Automated Semen Plasma Analyzer

Advanced Seminal Biochemistry: Mapping Accessory Gland Health with the Sperminfo CP200 Analyzer

What it is

The CP200 - Fully Automated Semen Plasma Analyzer is a high-throughput diagnostic system designed to quantify five critical biochemical markers: Zinc, Fructose, Citric Acid, Neutral-α-glucosidase (NAG), and Elastase.

Why it is Essential (The Diagnostic Map)

Seminal plasma biochemistry acts as a "GPS" for the male reproductive tract: Neutral-α-glucosidase (NAG): The specific marker for the Epididymis. Low levels indicate an epididymal obstruction. Fructose: Produced by the Seminal Vesicles. Its absence is a classic indicator of Congenital Bilateral Absence of the Vas Deferens (CBAVD). Zinc & Citric Acid: Indicators of Prostatic Function. Low levels suggest chronic prostatitis or gland dysfunction. Elastase: A definitive marker for active inflammation, more reliable than simple leukocyte counting.

How it Aligns with Standards

Manual biochemistry is prone to error. The CP200 automates the colorimetric and enzymatic reactions recommended by the WHO, ensuring that temperature, timing, and wavelength are perfectly controlled for every test. This brings "Reference Laboratory" accuracy to any fertility clinic.
