Analysis parameters

What X1 Pro measures.

◉
Concentration
Sperm per ml (10⁶/ml) and total count
→
Motility
Total and progressive motility per WHO criteria
◈
Morphology
Normal forms (%) - visualised in real time on the touchscreen
◎
pH

Automated image analysis

From image to result.

01

Image capture

The instrument optics capture the sample in the CS1 cassette and display the image on the built-in touchscreen.

02

Detection

The system identifies sperm in the image stream and calculates concentration and motility.

03

Results

Results are shown directly on the instrument and can be saved as a report via USB.

How the results are measured

From sample to clinical result.

LensHooke X1 Pro is a compact CASA analyser combining optical image capture with automated image analysis in a pre-filled CS1 cassette. Within 2–5 minutes, the laboratory receives a structured result for concentration, motility, morphology and pH.

Concentration

The system identifies sperm in the image stream and calculates concentration per millilitre and total sperm count.

Motility

Sperm movement is analysed and reported as total and progressive motility within the laboratory’s chosen WHO-based workflow.

Morphology and pH

Normal forms and pH can be assessed from the same sample workflow, bringing several core semen parameters into one report.

CASA at the point of care

Automated image analysis takes place inside the instrument, with results shown on the 3.5-inch touchscreen or exported via USB.

Workflow

Simple to use.

Step 01
Apply sample to CS1 cassette
Apply the sample
Apply two drops of the sample to the CS1 cassette. No pretreatment is required.
Step 02

Evidence & methodology

X1 Pro in published comparisons.

CASA results depend on standardised sample handling, image analysis and quality assurance. Published studies of LensHooke X1 Pro compared concentration and motility with established laboratory methods and provide methodological context for using the results in laboratory workflows.

Clinical semen samples in a development study

A study of 135 clinical semen samples evaluated X1 Pro for concentration, progressive motility, progressively motile sperm concentration and pH in relation to established methods.

Comparison with manual analysis and IVOS CASA

A validation study analysed 31 semen samples in 101 aliquots and compared X1 Pro and IVOS CASA with manual semen analysis. Concentration, total motility and progressive motility showed strong correlation.

Results belong in the laboratory quality system

The studies support methodological comparability but do not replace local validation. Sample handling, internal controls, reference values and clinical interpretation remain the laboratory’s responsibility.

Frequently asked questions

About X1 Pro and CASA measurements.

Is X1 Pro a CASA analyser?

Yes. LensHooke X1 Pro is a compact automated CASA analyser using optical image analysis to measure and report core semen parameters.

Which parameters does X1 Pro measure?

X1 Pro is used for concentration, total and progressive motility, morphology and pH in the same CS1 cassette-based workflow.

How long does an X1 Pro analysis take?

An analysis normally takes 2–5 minutes per sample. Results appear directly on the instrument’s 3.5-inch touchscreen and can be exported via USB.

Does X1 Pro follow WHO guidance?

X1 Pro is intended for WHO-based workflows and the product specification covers WHO 4, 5 and 6. The laboratory must still validate its own protocol and reference values.
