Our services

Since 1989, our laboratory has provided routine and advanced semen analysis, assessing a man’s fertility potential. These analyses include:

    • Sperm Detection, Composition, and Count
    • Sperm Motility (Progressive and Non-Progressive) and Viability
    • Sperm Morphology (Strict and Non-Strict Criteria)
    • Sperm DNA Fragmentation (Single Strand and Double Strand)
    • Seminal Oxidative Stress Evaluation
    • Antisperm Antibody Evaluation (Direct and Indirect)
    • Retrograde Sperm Retrievals and Analysis

How is the specimen collected?

Each patient is given a sterile cup and specific instructions for their specimen collection. Semen specimens are collected onsite in a private room. Alternatively, semen specimens can be collected at home but must be delivered to our lab within one hour of collection.
