Kit for Determination of the Neutral Alpha-Glucosidase Level in

Seminal Plasma

The kit is mainly used for evaluating the secretory function of male epididymis, and for topical diagnosis of obstructiveazoospermia

Features:

• An improved method based on WHO technology and it is more rapid and convenient in test with stable resultscomparing to traditional Cooper method.
• Operationedin the microplate. Fast and easy-to-use.
• Available for automatic and semiautomatic tests ,tests,good to makeforstandardization of test.
• It is ready for use and easy to handle.
• 40 tests per kit and meet the need of batch testing.

Applications in clinic:

For the casesIn case of thebilateral ejaculatory-duct obstruction, congenital agenesis of seminal vesicle or dysplasia, extremely lowthetotal contentof neutral alpha-glucosidase in seminal plasma, andis extremely low. When subjecting tothe cases suffering fromthe epididymitis, incomplete ejaculation or frequent ejaculation, decreased neutral alpha-glucosidase level in seminal plasmadecreases.

The neutral alpha-glucosidase, whencombinedwith other detection indicators (such as seminal plasma fructose), may helpperformthe topical diagnosisfor the obstructive site of patients with obstructiveazoospermia.

Theneutral alpha-glucosidase in seminal plasma is one of evaluation indicators of epididymis secretory function, and it is more specific and sensitive comparing comparedwith other evaluation indicators including L-Carnitine and glycerophosphocholine. As the sperm maturation occurs in the epididymis, the decline of epididymis secretory function may make adverse effectsonthe sperm motility and functions.
