LaboratoryDNA fragmentation index in Semen by Flow cytometry (FC)
Definition
Data for red and green fluorescence are collected by flow cytometry and transformed to determine the degree of red fluorescence in the sperm population, known as the DNA fragmentation index (DFI). DFI measures abnormal chromatin structure.
