CEROS Sperm Analyzer

If you replaced the internal optics of the IVOS analyzer with a microscope and camera, what would you have? You would have a high performance analyzer at a lower price. You would have a CEROS.

 

Features

10x Negative Phase Contrast

20x Negative Phase Contrast

Save Space, Save Money

If you have limited bench space, a limited budget, or both - the CEROS is the answer for your computer assisted semen analysis needs. Providing the same sperm analysis accuracy and detail of the IVOS, the CEROS is a cost-effective and space-saving alternative. Since the CEROS processor is a separate unit from the optical component, the computer can be placed under the bench and out of the way. And, if you already own a compatible microscope (must be negative phase contrast trinocular), you can save even more money.

Components

The CEROS is a component based system comprised of:

  • A high speed computer
  • A negative phase contrast trinocular microscope
  • A B&W CCD camera
  • Portable MiniTherm Stage Warmer
  • A 20 inch monitor
  • Mouse and keyboard

Comparison with IVOS CASA System

So which Computer Assisted Semen Analysis system is right for you?

IVOS CASA System CEROS CASA System
If high-end performance using the published standard is key for your lab, then the IVOS is the best option. If you require the objectivity and accuracy of automated analysis, but at a more affordable price, then choose the CEROS.
All optics components built into one integrated workstation External microscope allows computer to be stored under the lab bench to save space
Strobe illumination: provides sharpest imaging Familiar, standard microscope illumination
Automated, built-in, heated stage for precise temperature control and sample positioning Portable MiniTherm Stage Warmer maintains samples at 37°C
Preselection of fields for fastest analysis X-Y stage movement increases number of fields available for motility and morphology
Required for optional IDENT fluorescence capability Not compatible with IDENT fluorescence capability

Multispecies Sperm Analysis Compatibility

Depending on your need, the CEROS comes with standard Clinical (human) software, Equine Breeders software, Animal Breeders software or Animal Motility software. (TOX and SWINE software are not available for the CEROS.)
