Automated image analysis

Precision in every image.

01

Image capture

Autofocus, Full HD optics and the automatic XY table capture the sample across multiple fields of view.

02

Detection

The image analysis identifies sperm and calculates concentration, motility and movement paths.

03

Classification and report

The system classifies morphology and compiles results from routine analysis and compatible R10 and R11 slides.

How the results are measured

From image capture to advanced DNA analysis.

LensHooke X12 Pro combines autofocus, Full HD optics and an automatic XY table to analyse the sample across multiple fields of view. The same platform supports routine analysis and DNA fragmentation workflows using R10 and R11 slides.

Routine semen analysis

The image analysis calculates concentration, motility and movement paths, and classifies sperm morphology within the laboratory’s validated workflow.

Automated image capture

Autofocus and multiple fields of view provide a standardised image stream for sperm detection and classification.

SCD and DNA fragmentation

With R10 Plus, sperm chromatin dispersion and the DNA fragmentation index (DFI) can be analysed automatically by X12 Pro.

SDFR and double-strand breaks

With R11 Plus, the laboratory can complement global DNA fragmentation with analysis of DNA double-strand breaks.

Evidence & methodology

Automated analysis with documented methodology.

The WHO sixth edition manual emphasises standardised laboratory procedures, quality assurance and comparability between laboratories. For X12 Pro, published evidence covers automated R10 analysis of sperm DNA fragmentation.

620 semen samples in a comparative study

A published study compared R10 with conventional SCD analysis and used X12 Pro for automated determination of the DNA fragmentation index.

Strong agreement with manual interpretation

X12 interpretation showed Spearman’s rank correlation ρ = 0.9323 against manual interpretation (p < 0.0001).

Lower variation in the automated analysis

The coefficient of variation was 4% for R10 analysed by X12, compared with 19% for manual R10 scoring and 25% for manual G2 scoring.

Evidence is parameter- and method-specific

The study primarily concerns R10/SCD and should not be presented as a separate validation of every parameter or every R11 workflow.

Frequently asked questions

About X12 Pro and the measurements.

How is X12 Pro different from a standard CASA analyser?

X12 Pro combines advanced routine analysis with automated morphology, autofocus, Full HD image capture and workflows for SCD- and SDFR-based DNA analysis.

Which DNA parameters can X12 Pro analyse?

With compatible R10 and R11 slides, X12 Pro can be used for the DNA fragmentation index (SCD) and analysis of DNA double-strand breaks (SDFR).

How is R10 analysed with X12 Pro?

The R10 slide is analysed optically, and X12 Pro automates determination of the DNA fragmentation index within the validated R10 workflow.

Is X12 Pro based on WHO 6?

X12 Pro is intended for a workflow based on the sixth edition of the WHO manual. The laboratory must also maintain its own validated procedures, quality assurance and reference handling.
