The SPARTAN sperm sorter helps ensure only the best sperm win.

Developed by teams from Stanford and Worcester Polytechnic Institute to select sperm for in vitro fertilization, the SPARTAN (Simple Periodic ARray for Trapping And IsolatioN) subjects the potential sperm to a tiny obstacle course. The sperm that make it to the end of the device first are chosen as donor sperm, and the test can be performed on-site at the clinic, requiring less than an hour to complete.
