Reproductive cell separation: A concept

Abstract

Attempt has been made to separate mammalian male (Y) bearing sperm from female (X) bearing sperm. Both types of sperm are very dependent on gravity for their direction of movement. Proposed concept suggests electrophoretic force of suitable magnitude and direction may be effective means of separating X and Y sperm under zero gravity.
