Indian Spermtech Sperm Bank uses guidelines established by the World Health Organization -1999 to evaluate fertility. The following factors are measured.

Semen Analysis done by fully automatic sperm quality analyzer - SQA II-C-P ( MES- Israel )

Volume: An average ejaculate is at least 2 ml in volume.

Viscosity is the rate at which semen liquefies. Semen is initially thick and viscous; the thicker the semen, the more difficult it is for sperm to travel. The desired viscosity is +1 on a scale of +1 to +4, with liquefaction complete within 10 - 30 minutes of ejaculation.

pH: Semen is an alkaline body fluid, with a normal pH in the range of 7.2 to 8.0.

Sperm Count measures the actual number of both motile and non-motile sperm in every 1 ml of semen. Motile sperm are live, swimming sperm. A normal range is at least 20 million total sperm per ml.

Motility expresses the percent of motile sperm expresses the percent of motile sperm.

Sperm motility is assessed by categorisation into four groups of motility at 37°C:

Rapid progressive (a) : ≥ 25 μm/s
Sluggish progressive (b): 5-24 μm/s
Non progressive (c) ≤ 5 μm/s
Immotile sperm (d)

Provide additional parameter

Motile sperm concentration (mil./ml.)
Functional sperm concentration. ( FSC ) mil./ml.
TFSC value is an integrative form of three main parameters like sperm count(mil/ml), % progressive motility and % normal morphologies as per guidelines of the WHO. which reflects the comprehensive overall status of semen sample and its fertilization potential
SPERM MOTILITY INDEX. ( SMI )
SMI measure number of motile sperms multiplies them with their forward progressive speed. (MacLeod J. Fertil Steril 16:735:1965.)
LONGEVITY TEST
TFSC. mil./ml. at Examination Time , After 1st hr. and After 2nd hr.
FRUCTOSE TEST

Total in Sample:( Per Ejaculate )

Total Sperm Count
Total Motile Sperm Concentration
Total Functional Sperm Concerntration

If results below the normal range

If one semen analysis produces results below the normal range, we’d suggest having one or two more semen analyses to get an accurate evaluation of your fertility potential
Schedule these repeat analyses after three to six days abstinence period
