SCIENTISTS have revealed details of a hi-tech breakthrough that could help childless couples.
Researchers at Edinburgh University have developed a method of testing the quality of sperm before it is used for IVF.
The technique could help childless couples in the next five to ten years. The scientists, whose work was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, created a way of chemically "fingerprinting" individual sperm to get an indication of quality without killing the sperm.
