In IVF, semen quality makes up half the equation — clean, high-quality, uncontaminated semen is essential for giving your donor the best chance at producing strong, viable embryos and pregnancies. Evogene applies precise, science-backed protocols to prepare and assess each semen sample. From basic through to advanced assessments, we focus on percent motile, type of motility, morphology, survivability, speed, ability to hyperactivate, and cleavage, blastocysts and degeneration rates, as well as monitoring for the presence of contaminants. With prior semen assessment our teams can tailor future semen preparations to ensure optimal fertilisation, cleavage and embryo development reducing the risk of failed programs due to semen complications.
We don’t just process semen—we understand it.
Semen assessment is a critical component of reproductive success, as it ensures that even the smallest contributing factors—the 1% details—are optimised; by evaluating semen quality in advance, we add another layer of control and confidence, helping to stack the odds in our favour for a successful outcome.
Semen assessment is the process of thawing a straw, or a portion of a straw, of frozen semen to evaluate its quality before use in an OPU (Ovum Pick-Up) program. This evaluation focuses on key parameters such as:
By assessing semen prior to the program, we can confirm its suitability and ensure it meets the standards required for optimal fertilisation outcomes.
Absolutely yes! Small portions of a straw can be assessed to minimize wastage. Semen assessments help stack the odds in your favour, giving every program the best possible chance of success.
