Halosperm is an in vitro diagnostic kit that allows the measurement of DNA fragmentation in a fast, easy, and reproducible manner, without the need for complex laboratory equipment. Halosperm allows for an improved evaluation of sperm quality, complementing the information offered by the conventional sperm analysis. Conventional semen analysis only studies spermatozoa concentration, motility and morphology. It is an incomplete study, as it omits analysis of one of the most important parameters, the integrity of the DNA molecule. 15% of men considered to be infertile present normal sperm analyses, which makes a deeper assessment of the sample important. Halosperm facilitates decision-making for medical professionals regarding which assisted reproduction technique is most appropriate for each couple.

Halosperm is based on the SCD technique, patented by Halotech, based on a controlled DNA denaturation process to facilitate the subsequent removal of the proteins contained in each spermatozoon. In this way, normal spermatozoa create halos formed by loops of DNA at the head of the sperm, which are not present in those with damaged DNA.
