Paying it Forward

Associate Professor Sally Catt is researching sperm selection and needs able-bodied volunteers.

Her team is comparing a device called a Zymot with traditional density gradient testing. The Zymot separates sperm without the need for sperm-damaging centrifugation. 

Please donate and/or recruit donors within your networks.

Donors receive a complimentary extensive semen analysis and the Education Program in Reproduction and Development provides a $20 supermarket voucher for each donation.

Volunteering leaves people with a good feeling. This one, a very good feeling. 

Please apply via this form.

For any questions you may have please contact Associate Professor Sally Catt at sally.catt@monash.edu

What is a ZyMot? A ZyMot is a device, also called a chip, which can be used in an IVF laboratory to prepare and select sperm for insemination by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).  A ZyMot relies on the sperm actively swimming through the membrane filter in the chip, demonstrating motility.
