“…Previous experiments were completed using photometric devices [15,16,18,20,21,22]. To provide precise, robust, portable, and inexpensive redox-based assay systems, paper-based assays have been developed for mammalian sperm using MTT [31,32,33,34]. We found a correlation between colorimetric results from a paper-based MTT assay and sperm motility as determined by inhibitor treatment, and suggested that the redox mechanism was related to flagellum beating [31,32].…”
