Biological Innocuousness of a Device Developed to Select the Optimum Spermatozoa to be used in the Treatment of Infertility

Neutral red uptake dataset

Experiment number: experiment replicates

Treatment: 
BLANK, culture medium for fibroblast growth incubated in a polyropilene tube suitable for cell culture
MEM, culture medium for fibroblast growth
HTF, culture medium for sperm incubation
MEM (SSA), culture medium for fibroblast growth pre incubated for 24 hs with the SSA acrylic device
HTF (SSA), culture medium for sperm incubation pre incubated for 24 hs with the SSA acrylic device; HTF (SSA+P), culture medium for sperm incubation with 10pM of progesterone pre incubated for 24 hs with the SSA acrylic device)

Dilution (Treatment:PBS), indicates the proportion of the mix made with the treatment solution and PBS solution.

Cells incubation time (hs), time at which the cells viability was evaluated.

Absorbance, the mean value of 3 replicates of the same treatment given by the microplate reader on each experiment. 

Cell viability (%), is the percentage of viability calculated by dividing the absorbance of the treatment solution (minus the absorbance of PBS (treatment:PBS = 0:100)) by the absorbance of the blank solution (minus the absorbance of PBS) per 100.
