TrophoSYS's innovative methods enable cattle breeding to improve breeding results by separating live and dead cells in the ejaculate, and to specifically rear them by separating sperm containing X and Y chromosomes.
The company is breaking new ground worldwide with its live/dead separation process and is currently the only provider with this highly efficient technology. The device development has been completed, toxicity tests have already been successfully implemented and the necessary field studies have started.
When it comes to separating sperm containing X and Y chromosomes, TrophoSYS is taking its own approach and is using a highly efficient technology that has not yet been used in this way. The development of the device has also been completed here, but the biotechnological finalization of the process is still pending and has not yet been finalized.Even today, in the current proof-of-concept stage, sperm can be separated into female and male cells by over 90% with almost native cell health and high yield.
Our technologies are based on the use of different surface properties of the respective cell species and on the use of specially developed auxiliary material concepts that significantly increase the differentiability of these surface properties. The actual separation takes place in a device developed by TrophoSYS, which does not have a negative effect on cell health or even can be genetically manipulated.
