SAMi Research Software Interface

Designed for Rigorous Research

SAMi provides researchers with the detailed kinematic data and raw tracking information needed for advanced sperm function studies. Access data in its most fundamental form for custom analysis.

Raw Track Data Export

X,Y coordinates for every sperm across 60 frames of video

Advanced Kinematics

VCL, VSL, VAP, LIN, ALH, BCF, and more per individual sperm

Video Storage

Original tracked and untracked video saved for every analysis

Research Applications

Advancing Reproductive Science

Hyperactivation Studies

Identify and quantify hyperactivated sperm using objective kinematic thresholds rather than subjective visual assessment.

Drug Effect Analysis

Study the effects of compounds on sperm motility with precise before/after kinematic comparisons.

Environmental Toxicology

Assess reproductive toxicity by measuring sperm function changes in response to environmental exposures.

Cryopreservation Research

Evaluate freezing protocols with objective pre- and post-thaw motility and kinematic analysis.

Comparative Species Studies

Analyze sperm from different species using consistent, objective methodology.

Clinical Trial Support

Provide reproducible, validated semen analysis for pharmaceutical and clinical research studies.

Raw Data Access

SAMi stores comprehensive data for every analysis, giving researchers unprecedented access to sperm movement information:

Track Data Export

For every sperm tracked in each field analyzed, SAMi exports X,Y coordinate data across 60 frames of video. This raw tracking information allows researchers to:

  • Calculate custom kinematic parameters not included in standard CASA output
  • Perform trajectory classification using proprietary algorithms
  • Analyze movement patterns without pre-defined categorization
  • Feed data into machine learning models
  • Create custom visualizations and animations

Data Formats

All data exports to industry-standard CSV format for easy import into statistical software packages including SPSS, R, Python, MATLAB, and Excel.

Video Archive

Both tracked and untracked video is stored for every analysis, allowing retrospective review, reanalysis with different parameters, or manual verification of automated results.

The track data export feature gives us unprecedented access to raw sperm movement data, enabling research that simply wasn't possible before.
