Abstract = {{Male infertility often involves idiopathic or unknown causes, leading to
   an increasing demand for assisted reproduction technologies (ART).
   Conventional sperm sorting techniques rely on centrifugation steps that
   are known to cause oxidative stress and consequently damage cells.
   Alternative novel techniques have been introduced but offer
   disadvantages that need to be overcome. These techniques are also
   employed to increase the number and the quality of subjects in the
   animal breeding industry, to obtain purebred subjects or to preserve
   endangered animal species. Microfluidics deals with the manipulation of
   small amounts of volume within a microdevice known as lab-on-a-chip
   (LOC), which offers rapid analyses, ease of use, small reagent sample
   volumes, high-throughput processing and wide reproducibility owing to
   automation and standardization. As the LOC allows gamete handling within
   a microenvironment that strictly mimics physiological in vivo conditions
   and avoids centrifugation steps and long processing time, the use of
   microfluidics for sperm sorting and selection have been proposed during
   the last 15 years and is currently under investigation. Moreover, LOC
   technologies to sort, identify and analyse other kinds of cells could be
   transferred to sperm selection and analysis, thus opening the way to a
   novel approach to the sperm cell selection and manipulation. This review
   describes the techniques routinely performed in human and animal
   clinical practice for sorting good-quality sperm for in vitro
   fertilization procedures, and focuses on the positive and negative
   aspects of each method. Emerging microfluidic devices, recently proposed
   for sperm selection, are also described and, when possible, compared
   with standard methods.}},
