The newly launched online tool helps fertility professionals compare sperm preparation methods and evaluate differences in processing time, labor, consumables, and operational costs.
Frisco, Texas, October 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Reproductive Solutions (RSI Technology Group) today announced the launch of its Sperm Preparation Workflow Calculator, a new online resource designed to help fertility laboratories quantify and compare the operational requirements of different sperm preparation methods.
This tool is considered the first publicly available calculator specifically designed for sperm preparation laboratory workflows. It enables fertility professionals to compare differences among various preparation methods in terms of processing time, personnel requirements, consumable usage, and associated costs, providing a more comprehensive understanding of how preparation methods impact laboratory efficiency.
As fertility labs face increasing pressures on personnel, equipment, and laboratory capacity, optimizing workflows has become a critical consideration for supporting efficient and stable care. However, labs have previously lacked tools specifically designed to quantify the operational impact of different sperm preparation methods.
RSI developed this calculator specifically to fill this gap.
Sam Marple, CEO of Reproductive Solutions, said: “We’ve spent considerable time evaluating clinical outcomes in reproductive medicine, but we’ve quantified far less about the operational demands of the processes behind those outcomes. Each preparation step requires resources, personnel, and time. We want to provide labs with a practical way to visualize their workflows digitally and better understand where opportunities for efficiency improvements may exist.”
This calculator enables users to compare operational differences between various sperm preparation methods, including RSI’s NovoSort® technology. This technology is designed to support a more streamlined laboratory workflow through passive sperm preparation, reduced handling steps, and a closed-sample transfer process.
Marple added, "Innovations in reproductive medicine should not be limited to what happens under the microscope. They should also focus on how the lab operates, how the team uses its time, and how we can streamline processes without compromising the most critical priorities in patient care."
By making this calculator available to the public, RSI hopes to encourage fertility professionals to evaluate laboratory workflows in a more data-driven manner, identify potential inefficiencies, and consider how preparation techniques can be integrated into broader operational strategies.
