Unlock Deeper Insights with CASA Semen Analysis
What is CASA?
CASA stands for Computer Assisted Semen Analysis — an advanced, automated technique for evaluating male fertility by analyzing semen parameters using high-resolution imaging and software-based algorithms. It delivers accurate, objective, and reproducible results compared to manual microscopic semen analysis.
Why Choose CASA?
Modern fertility treatment demands precision and consistency. CASA offers:
Faster results
Standardized analysis
High accuracy
Automated reporting
Better sperm tracking
It is ideal for fertility clinics, IVF centers, urologists, and diagnostics labs seeking accurate semen evaluations.
Parameters Analyzed by CASA
CASA evaluates multiple semen parameters including:
Sperm Count (Concentration)
Motility (Progressive, Non-progressive, Immotile)
Velocity (VCL, VSL, VAP)
Linearity (LIN) and Straightness (STR)
Morphology (Shape and structure)
Vitality
Head, midpiece, and tail defects
DNA Fragmentation Index (optional, in advanced systems)
Benefits of CASA
Improved Accuracy: Reduces human error and subjectivity
Rapid Analysis: Faster than manual testing
Detailed Reports: Generates visual and statistical data
Consistency: Standardized results across repeated tests
Assists Clinicians: Helps in diagnosis and tracking treatment outcomes
Digital Storage: Data can be stored and tracked over time
Limitations / Considerations
While CASA is highly reliable, it must be:
Calibrated regularly
Used by trained professionals
Complemented with clinical context (e.g., hormonal, genetic testing)
Manual verification may be needed in complex or borderline cases.
When is CASA Recommended?
CASA is ideal in:
Male infertility evaluation
Pre-IVF or IUI workups
Post-vasectomy follow-up
Monitoring improvement post-treatment
Research and academic labs
Who Performs CASA?
CASA analysis is performed by trained andrologists or lab technicians using specialized software and high-end microscopes under standard WHO semen analysis guidelines.
How CASA Works (Step-by-Step)
Sample Collection (as per guidelines)
Sample Preparation (liquefaction, dilution if needed)
Loading on Slide (chamber slide or specialized CASA slide)
Microscopic Capture (digital camera records sperm motion)
Software Analysis (AI/machine learning tracks sperm behavior)
Report Generation (parameters, graphs, images)
