Goat 4MID® Kit (proAKAP4 marker testing kit)
Product ref. : 4VDX-18K9
The Goat 4MID® Kit (Ref. 4VDX-18K9) allows you to quantify proAKAP4 in samples of buck semen as a biomarker of sperm quality and fertility.
The Goat 4MID® Kit is the 1st functional testing kit to evaluate objectively sperm quality, long-term motility and fertility in bucks.
The Goat 4MID® Kit will give you a number that is correlated with sperm quality, long-term motility and fertility outcomes.
Research Use Only Product (RUO) / Not for Diagnosis or Therapeutic Use.
Goat 4MID® Kit Description
The Goat 4MID® Kit (Ref. 4VDX-18K9) is the first test that validates objectively the semen quality by quantifying a protein named proAKAP4 in goat semen (all breeds).
The dosage of the amount of proAKAP4 biomarker with the Goat 4MID® Kit brings :
- Objective information on semen quality
- Qualification of each breeding male
- Qualification of each ejaculate
- Qualification of each straw/straw lot at the post-thaw control step
- Selection of semen with long lasting motility and functionality at post-thaw
- Pertinent parameter to improve sperm cryopreservation
- A functional indicator of male fertility
Application for the in vitro determination of goat proAKAP4 in sperm.
For Research Use Only / Not for Diagnosis or Therapeuctic Use
