Due to very high cost for CASA technology suggests its use only in laboratories that perform a high number of examinations. Pathologist and microbiologist need a manual cum standard computer assisted, cost effective, more accurate & complete semen analyzer with optimal result, since semen analysis is now a routine checkup for infertile couples.
