ProteX™ is a patented sperm collection device engineered to maintain specimen viability during and after collection. When used with media, it preserves motility for up to 24 hours, enabling flexible scheduling and reducing the urgency of immediate processing.
- Extends specimen stability up to 24 hours with media, allowing greater flexibility in collection and processing schedules. 
- Reduces loss of motility associated with delayed processing or suboptimal transport conditions. 
- Facilitates at-home collection without compromising specimen integrity. 
- Compatible with direct in-cup processing when paired with NovoSort®. 
Yes. ProteX™ is FDA-listed, undergoes biocompatibility and toxicity testing, and has been validated in clinical settings.
At-Home Collections are shipped directly to patients and include all required components for either media-assisted (24-hour viability) or non-media (1–2 hour viability) collection. Detailed instructions and labeling are included to streamline accessioning upon arrival at the laboratory.
- Reduces scheduling constraints for patients traveling long distances. 
- Minimizes urgency of immediate sample drop-off. 
- Allows for flexibility in IVF cycle coordination and IUI planning. 
NovoSort® is a passive, non-centrifugation sperm selection system designed to enrich for progressively motile, morphologically normal sperm directly within the ProteX™ collection cup.
- Gentle on sperm: Eliminates centrifugation-related ROS generation and mechanical stress. 
- Workflow efficiency: Allows collection-to-selection in a single vessel, reducing sample transfers and contamination risk. 
- Improved specimen quality: Enriches for sperm with higher motility and lower DNA fragmentation. 
- Versatility: Suitable for IUI and ICSI applications using fresh ejaculated sperm with progressive motility. 
Yes. NovoSort® is indicated for fresh ejaculated samples with progressively motile sperm. It is not validated for surgically retrieved or non-motile specimens. For frozen samples, contact RSI for separate handling protocols.
Both devices are designed for easy adoption without major equipment changes. Our clinical support team can assist with:
- Staff training and competency documentation. 
- Workflow adaptation and SOP development. 
- Troubleshooting and ongoing technical support. 
RSI Technology Group’s is operating under ISO 13485:2016–quality management system regulations, and produced in compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 820 (Quality System Regulation). All products undergo validated sterilization and sperm survival testing to ensure safety, quality, and performance before release.
