This invention relates to the field of
sperm detection technology, specifically disclosing an automated
sperm density detection chamber integrating sample mixing and
temperature control functions. The chamber comprises, from bottom to top, a light-transmitting bottom layer, a microchannel layer, and a light-transmitting cover layer. The light-transmitting bottom layer has, from bottom to top, a glass substrate layer, an ITO heating
electrode layer, a
first light-transmitting insulating layer, a first ITO mixing
electrode layer, and a second light-transmitting insulating layer. The light-transmitting cover layer has, from top to bottom, an upper glass
surface layer, a second ITO mixing
electrode layer, and a third light-transmitting insulating layer. The microchannel layer forms microchannels, and the light-transmitting cover layer has an inlet port and an exhaust port communicating with the microchannels. This invention achieves stable constant
temperature control of the
semen sample within the microchannels, effectively avoiding the adverse effects of
environmental temperature fluctuations on
sperm characteristics and detection results. Furthermore, it enables in-situ automatic mixing of the
semen sample, improving the accuracy and
repeatability of
sperm density detection results.
