Former Sandia researchers Greg Sommer and Ulrich Schaff have created a new, portable diagnostic kit that allows men to self-test for sperm quality with a few drops of semen...The researchers developed TrakFertility after working on a project at Sandia’s lab site in California to create an instrument that would allow first responders to rapidly detect toxins, radiation or other biological agents in emergency situations...Ulrich and Sommer realized the technology had many potential commercial applications, so they licensed it from Sandia to further develop and market it for male fertility testing.
