Medical Electronic Systems (MES)
Medical Electronic Systems (MES) develops automated sperm quality analyzers (SQA) for assessing male fertility in both human and animal categories. Since 1993, the company has performed extensive R&D in order to accurately characterize and analyze sperm cell movement, concentration and morphology. Through the use of electro-optic technology, computer modeling and video microscopy Medical Electronic Systems has developed the proprietary algorithms that are the foundation of our technology. The accuracy and speed with which the SQA reports semen parameters (75 seconds) is unmatched by manual methods. As an added feature and included with every SQA-V, the company has developed data management software to enhance the capabilities of the SQA and assist the user to analyze, document and report semen analysis test results in multiple languages and with video attachments. The company’s family of SQA products for assessing male fertility in both human and animal categories has established Medical Electronic Systems as a worldwide leader in the field of rapid and reliable automated semen analysis. The products are FDA approved, CE marked and the company is ISO Certified and committed to provide breakthrough technology in the field of semen analysis.

QwikCheck™beads Control Material 04.10.2007

QwikCheck™beads is an external quality control material for use in automated and manual sperm counting systems. The material is for in-vitro use only and is to be used as a tool to assess the accuracy and precision of the laboratory’s sperm counting methods by providing a known target value and +/- range. QwikCheck™beads are supplied in a kit containing two vials of 4-micron latex beads of known concentration suspended in an aqueous solvent and one negative control. The controls are run in the same manner the laboratory runs sperm counts on the SQA-V, manual counting chambers and the SQA-V visualization system. According to the CLIA ’88 regulations, “…for most moderately complex tests, the general requirement is to analyze three levels of QC materials each day of testing.” It is recommended that QwikCheck™beads be run on the SQA-V automated and visualization systems prior to each day of semen analysis testing.
