The invention relates to an
improved method for analysing
sperm DNA structure, by means of which it is possible to reduce the time required to process samples by 80%, optimising every stage of the process. This effect is achieved through a synergetic improvement in each step of the process. The formation of microgels is accelerated with cold
metal plates (2–8°C) and using 0.8%-1.5%
agarose.
DNA denaturation is carried out using HCl (100 mM). The deproteinisation solution contains DTT (0.22 M), NaCl (2.75 M), detergents of the
alcohol ethoxylate (0.044 M) and SDS (0.0014 M) type. Fixation is carried out using 96%
ethanol at a low temperature. The
staining process uses a panoptic dye, improving the quality of the images. The invention not only speeds up the analysis by reducing the time required by 80%, but also enables faster and more accurate diagnoses, thanks to the high quality of the images obtained.
