ABSTRACT:
A method, medical device (10) and test kit for capacitation of sperm for fertilizing eggs in vitro or in vivo, is described. The sperm is particularly from lower mammals, such as domestic animals and wild animals to be bred in captivity. The capacitated sperm is also useful in research relating to the nature of capacitation of sperm following modification of the head of the sperm upon capacitation.
