  • Title: [The sperm swelling test--a new andrologic method].
    Author: Stark KH, Bernt WD.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1987; 109(18):1149-54. PubMed ID: 3687279.
    Abstract:
    104 semen specimen from 15 donors of the AID-program with proven fertility were investigated and the hypoosmotic swelling test -HOS-test (Jeyendran et. al.) was carried out. The results of this test had been compared with the sperm motility and the sperm motile efficiency (Ishii et. al.). All donors showed a high rate of test-positive sperms for these three methods. The HOS-test had a lower scattering and a higher individual specificity than the other methods.
