Abstract
Sperm selection by birefringence or MSOME alone had one-third probability to select sperm with fragmented DNA. The lowest percentage of DNA fragmentation was found in birefringent sperm with no nuclear vacuoles and normal MSOME results. We suggest combining both methods using a single microscope and selecting sperm without nuclear vacuoles to get sperm with a higher chance of having intact DNA.
