Abstract:
The limited method demands for new technology in the management of male infertility. Raman spectroscopy is a rapid and sensitive non-invasive diagnosing technology. Raman spectroscopy was able to obtain Raman spectra from individual human sperm cells and allows for the comparison of their biochemical components, DNA and mitochondrial structure as well as epigenetic changes. This review provided an overview of the principle of each major types and discussed the progress in clinical application , indicating the potential of Raman spectroscopy as an valuable addition in assessing the quality of sperm cells for in vitro fertilization.
