The new cytometry technology enhances accessibility, safety, and efficiency in sperm-sorting procedures

The acquisition of 18 cell-sorting systems and associated patents positions NewGen for U.S. expansion, where over 430,000 IVF cycles took place in 2023

BANGKOK, July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewGenIvf Group Limited (NASDAQ:NIVF) ("NewGen" or the "Company"), a comprehensive fertility services provider in Asia helping couples and individuals obtain access to fertility treatments, today announced that it has acquired cytometry technology and assets including 18 fully-constructed cell-sorting and dispensing systems, eight partially constructed units, and six patents related to advanced microfluidic systems. This acquisition of physical machinery, intellectual property, and manufacturing know-how provides the Company with cutting-edge capabilities that will enhance its market position and support a planned U.S. expansion of its NewGenSort services.

The acquisition builds upon NewGen's strategic purchase earlier this year of MicroSort technology, which has been rebranded as NewGenSort. NewGenSort enables the separation of X and Y chromosome-bearing sperm cells prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. This sophisticated process involves fluorescent DNA staining and advanced flow cytometry, allowing for highly precise sperm cell sorting based on chromosomal content. The technology can be applied for couples who are looking to balance their family compositions, as well as those looking to prevent certain genetic diseases, specifically X-linked or X-limited disorders.

The 18 newly acquired cytometers will initially be deployed in the U.S. where permissible, a burgeoning market for fertility services. The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology reports that the total number of IVF cycles performed at the 371 reporting SART member clinics in the U.S. increased from 389,993 in 2022 to 432,641 in 2023. IVF births also rose during that span from 91,771 in 2022 to 95,860 in 2023, representing 2.6% of total births in the U.S. With each sorting system capable of performing around four sorts per day, NewGen projects the ability to process more than 25,000 sorts annually, a figure which represents less than 6% of total U.S. IVF cycles.

Based on the Company's conservative pricing assumptions and projected utilization rates, the Company anticipates that annual gross revenue from its U.S. operations could exceed $20 million once fully operational. Meanwhile, enhanced manufacturing capabilities through the knowhow acquired is expected to enable NewGen to produce additional cytometers and consumables at competitive prices, supporting broader market penetration. The expected rollout for the technology is currently planned for the first quarter of 2026.
