MALE INFERTILITY
Male infertility can be defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular and unprotected sexual intercourse. Male infertility affects nearly 50% of infertile couples worldwide.
We speak of primary infertility when a man has never induced a pregnancy and of secondary infertility when a man has already induced a pregnancy in the past. Insufficient sperm production or abnormalities in the quality of sperm produced are at the origin of male infertility.
WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?
SPERM TEST is useful for men who intend to monitor the concentration of sperm and check for possible anomalies.
Among the different screening tests, sperm count is considered a valid method for identifying possible infertility: a sperm concentration below 15 million/mL (concentration value considered to be the minimum necessary for conception) may have it necessary to consult a specialist for further investigation and advise on how to increase sperm concentration.
TECH SPECS
SPERM TEST is an in-vitro device for qualitative determination of sperm concentration in human sperm samples, as an aid to clinical diagnosis of infertility and/or an aid to planning a pregnancy. The test uses a membrane made up of inert glass fibers characterized by a high-water absorption capacity and pores for sperm filtration. The spermatozoa are trapped by the first layer of the membrane and the dye solution colors them: the darker the color in the well, the higher the concentration of spermatozoa in the sample.
