To achieve our goal of better technology, more life Memphasys combines qualified, experience, and technology in reproductive biotechnology. Memphasys is positioned to support those seeking IVF treatments with the use of its Felix™ device. After conducting an in vitro sperm validation study of the Felix™ device in IVF clinics, Memphasys is selling the Felix™ device in certain early access countries. Concurrently, Memphasys is gaining the clearances required to make the Felix™ device available in other markets.
Whilst initial expertise in Memphasys was developed to support human assisted reproductive technologies (ART), the same technological principles are also being applied to animal reproduction.
The driving force for Memphasys is the belief and desire to research, develop and commercialise reproductive systems and methods in humans and animals.

The Felix™ Device
The first Memphasys product is the Felix™ device for the separation of sperm from semen for use in human IVF procedures. The development of the Felix™ device builds on the Company’s expertise in membrane separation technology and on the use of electrophoresis to separate cells.
The Felix™ device is an automated electrophoretic device. The Felix™ device separates sperm from raw semen using a proprietary process which combines electrophoresis and size exclusion membranes. Sperm are harvested, with exclusion of cellular contaminants such as leukocytes and precursor germ cells.
The Felix™ device consists of two main components: a console, which supplies electrical power, and a sterile disposable cartridge for sperm isolation and selection.
The Felix™ device is the first commercial product to be developed by Memphasys. It is currently being sold in certain early access international markets whilst clinical study and/or regulatory processes are underway for higher regulatory markets.
Note: The Felix™ System is currently not available for supply in Australia and has not been included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).
