System and method for bodily fluid capture and preservation
System and associated method for capturing, preserving, and transporting a bodily fluid, including a collection jar having a base body, a lid body, and a plunger, the plunger housing a preservative when in a first plunger position and permitting a release of the preservative into an internal cavity of the collection jar when in a second plunger position, where the plunger moves from the first plunger position to the second plunger position by pushing the plunger into the internal cavity, and a transportation packaging having an outer container, at least one vacuum insulated panel, at least one phase change material bottle, and at least one collection jar holding tray, where the phase change material bottle has an indented portion corresponding to an indented portion of the collection jar holding tray, where the collection jar is configured for placement in the at least one collection jar holding tray during transportation.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING AND MONITORING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OF A SEMEN SAMPLE DURING TRANSPORT
Provided herein are systems, methods, and kits for controlling and monitoring environmental conditions of a semen sample during transport. The technologies disclosed herein allow for at-home male fertility sample collection and subsequent transport to a laboratory to undergo fertility testing. One or more environmental conditions can be tracked during transport which provide the data used to determine whether a sample needs to be resubmitted or if the conditions during transport were such that a false test result is unlikely.
Telescopic Impact Sperm Collector
A telescopic impact sperm collector includes an outer cup body, a soft cup body, and an inner cup body, a transmission mechanism and a drive mechanism which are installed in the outer cup body. The soft cup body has a massage cavity with a front opening; both ends of the soft cup body are connected to a cup mouth of the outer cup body and the inner cup body respectively; the drive mechanism includes a brushless motor; the transmission mechanism includes a mandrel and a cam; the mandrel has an end hinged to a rear end of the inner cup body and the other end transmissively connected to the brushless motor through the cam; the inner cup body can be driven by the brushless motor to slide back and forth in the outer cup body.
Method of temporal determination of semen-based DNA sample
A method and corresponding test kit is provided for the determination of whether a non-consensual sexual encounter between known individuals has occurred when previous consensual relations have taken place between the known individuals.
Device and a method for testing a biological sample, preferably semen
A device for testing the quality of a biological sample, preferably semen, in cooperation with an electronic apparatus, the device comprising; a slide slot adapted for receiving a slide containing a biological sample; a receiving surface adapted for receiving an electronic apparatus containing a camera, where the receiving surface comprises a through hole extending through said receiving surface; a light source arranged opposite the through hole; a lens arranged between the slide slot and the receiving surface, and adapted to magnify the image received at the receiving surface; where the slide slot is arranged between the light source and the through hole, the device further comprising a housing attached opposite the receiving surface, the housing having a shape allowing for a plurality of stable resting conditions in which the electronic apparatus lies on the receiving surface, and alignment between the camera and the through hole is maintained by friction.
Fertility Kits with Sterile Syringes and Collection Jars, Method of Sterilization and Use
A sterile Intracervical Insemination (ICI) fertility kit, method of sterilization, and method of use for performing self-insemination. Each sterile kit comprises: up to three sets of individually wrapped sterile, disposable, syringes and semen collection jars; printed instructions; and a QR code. The collection jar comprises a snap-on lid, and an inner surface with seamless edges to prevent semen residue. The syringes and jars are sealed in plastic wraps permeable to air and gas, and impermeable to pathogens; and are sterilized via gamma radiation or ethylene oxide. Fresh or frozen, unwashed or washed, semen is deposited into the jar, pulled into the syringe, and administered cervically during a user's maximum monthly level of luteinizing hormone. The syringe distal end is designed to push all semen out of the syringe then plug the end closed, while preventing semen residue from collecting within the syringe. Large circular syringe handles facilitate stable handling.
SEMEN COLLECTION SHEET
A semen collection sheet has a front surface to which semen attaches and a back surface having a fixing portion, and when the sheet is unfolded, a reservoir portion is formed to accumulate semen that attaches to the front surface. In a clinic, at home, or other appropriate environment, a user unfolds the semen collection sheet and fixes the sheet to a mounting surface such that the reservoir portion is positioned vertically downward. A user ejaculates aiming at a target portion. Ejaculate semen attaches to the front surface and runs down along the front surface under gravity, and accumulates in the reservoir portion.
TESTING EQUIPMENT WITH MAGNIFYING FUNCTION
Embodiments disclose a device for testing biological specimen. The device includes a sample carrier and a detachable cover. The sample carrier includes a specimen holding area. The detachable cover is placed on top of the specimen holding area. The detachable cover includes a magnifying component configured to align with the specimen holding area. The focal length of the magnifying component is from 0.1 mm to 8.5 mm. The magnifying component has a linear magnification ratio of at least 1.
Device for collecting animal semen
The device (1) comprises an inlet element (28) comprising an interface (40) for connecting to an artificial vagina and delimiting an inlet opening (14), a filter delimiting with the inlet element (28) an inlet chamber (41) on the side of the filter turned towards the opening (14) and a collection bag (4) extending between a closed end (8) and an open end (7) in which said inlet element is engaged; said bag and said filter delimiting a collection chamber (42) on the side of the filter turned towards the end (8); by means of which the semen entering through the opening (14) passes through the filter and comes to the collection chamber (42); the filter being a perforated wall (30) having a tubular portion (22) and a bottom portion (15) closing said tubular portion, and having a surface density of orifices (24) that is greater on said bottom portion than on said tubular portion.
EJACULATION PROMOTION APPARATUS AND EJACULATION PROMOTION DEVICE
Provided are an ejaculation promotion apparatus and an ejaculation promotion device by which a varied stimulus and tightening force by an appropriate pressure can be obtained, by using an air pressure in a non-closed air cell formed between a core member and a container as a pressure source that provides a stimulus and tightening force to a penis. Included are a core main body (31) including an insertion inlet (33) and an insertion empty space (35), a plurality of first ribs (40) projectingly provided on an outer peripheral surface of the core main body at necessary intervals, and extending in an approximately the same direction, and an air resistance member (50) that allows passage of air along a flow path F while serving as a resistance against the air flowing in the flow path at the time of expansion of an outer diameter of the core main body.
