SemenHos
This SemenHos test is used to test the vitality of sperm cells. The hypo-osmotic swelling is based on the semi-permeability of the intact cell membrane and their ability of active water transport in order to not burst. In sperm cells with intact membranes the flagellum swells up within 5 min. This change remains stable up to 30 min.
