MicroSort™ in Mexico
At Instituto Mexicano de Infertilidad (IMI), we understand that family planning is a deeply personal journey. For patients who wish to influence their baby’s gender—whether for family balancing or medical reasons—MicroSort™ offers a proven, non-invasive option to increase the likelihood of conceiving a boy or girl.
IMI proudly offers MicroSort™ technology in partnership with a certified lab in Guadalajara, combining flow cytometry, advanced reproductive science, and ethical medical practice to help families achieve their goals.
Science Meets Choice: Precision Sperm Sorting for Family Balancing
What Is MicroSort™?
MicroSort™ is a sperm sorting technology that separates sperm cells carrying the X chromosome (female) from those carrying the Y chromosome (male). The process uses a sophisticated method called flow cytometry, which identifies sperm DNA content using fluorescent markers.
By separating X-bearing and Y-bearing sperm, IMI’s embryologists can use the enriched sample for intrauterine insemination (IUI) or IVF, giving families a significantly higher chance of selecting the desired gender.
MicroSort™ is used both for medical and elective reasons:
- Medical: To avoid sex-linked genetic diseases (e.g., muscular dystrophy, hemophilia).
- Family Balancing: To complete a family with a child of a specific gender.
- LGBTQ+ Family Planning: For same-sex couples using donor sperm or eggs who wish to participate in gender selection.
IMI’s ethics committee ensures every MicroSort™ case aligns with medical best practices and the patient’s informed consent.
