In this, after loading the sample on a microchip, it shows live video on the screen of your phone and measures sperm count, motility and progressive motility.

In such kits, you collect samples at home and send it to the lab. A study in 2025 stated that these kits have special preservation solution, which can keep the sample fresh for 52 hours, so that the results of the test are accurate. This is a good option for those who do not want to give samples in the lab.
