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.
WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?
SPERM TEST is useful for men who intend to monitor the concentration of sperm and check for possible anomalies.
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.
CONTENT
1 test cassette
1 vial with dropper containing the staining solution

1 pipette for sperm sampling
1 collection cup
instructions for use
USE PROCEDURE
Deposit one drop of semen into the test well A, by using the provided pipette;
Apply 2 drops of the washing solution to well A, and let it soak for 1-2 minutes. Read the results immediately by comparing the color of A to B.
RESULTS INTERPRETATION
Normal - if the color of well A is darker than the reference well B, the sperm concentration is greater than 15 million/ml.
Abnormal - if the color of well A is lighter than that of reference well B, it means that the sperm concentration is less than 15 million/ml. It is recommended to contact a specialist for further information.
