The Institute of Genetics and Cytology offers consumers services for analyzing the level of DNA damage (fragmentation) in male sperm in order to identify genetically determined forms of male infertility under an outsourcing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.

A highly sensitive DNA comet method (single-cell gel electrophoresis) has been adapted to analyze the level of DNA damage (fragmentation) in male sperm in order to identify genetically determined forms of male infertility. Using a small number of cells from a sperm sample, the method allows the analysis of a wide range of lesions: single and double DNA strand breaks, apurine-apyrimidine sites, DNA-DNA, and DNA-protein crosslinks.

Together with the State Republican Scientific and Practical Center "Mother and Child" of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus, indications for the analysis of sperm DNA fragmentation were determined, and instructions for use were developed, approved by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus.

The levels of DNA fragmentation associated with the normal or pathological state of patients have been established.

The Institute is the leading research center of the republic in the field of genetics, genomics, and biotechnology. The activity of the institute is aimed at the development and implementation of modern DNA technologies for the genetic certification of humans, plants, and animals. For these purposes, fundamental and applied research is carried out, the results of which are in demand in the real sector of the economy.

The Institute has concluded agreements on scientific and technical cooperation with organizations in Bulgaria, Georgia, Spain, Kazakhstan, China, Poland, Russia, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Estonia, etc.

The Institute has a quality management system that is certified for compliance with the international standard STB ISO 9001-2015.

The institute's quality management system applies to the implementation of:
• research activities,
• innovative activities,
• training of highly qualified scientific workers,
• carrying out genetic testing of plants, animals, humans,
microorganisms, food, and food raw materials.

Consumers of services for the analysis of the level of DNA damage (fragmentation) in male sperm in order to identify genetically determined forms of male infertility under an outsourcing agreement.

Partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.
