Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) Testing
Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) testing evaluates the balance between oxidants (reactive oxygen species/free radicals) and antioxidants in semen. While small amounts of reactive oxygen species are essential for normal sperm function, excessive levels can negatively affect sperm quality by damaging sperm DNA, lipids, and proteins. This can impair sperm function and ultimately lead to sperm cell […]
Sperm DNA Fragmentation Testing (DFI)
The DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) measures the percentage of sperm carrying damage to their genetic material (DNA). A high DFI is one of the causes of male infertility and is not reflected in the conventional parameters of a standard semen analysis. A sperm cell with damaged DNA may have normal morphology, progressive motility, and still […]
Semen Analysis (Basic or Comprehensive)
A semen analysis is the cornerstone of male fertility assessment and the most important laboratory test used to evaluate a man’s reproductive potential. The test examines both the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of the semen, following the latest World Health Organization (WHO 2021) guidelines. It evaluates key parameters including semen volume, sperm concentration (count), motility […]
