Accurate assessment of sperm DNA damage (SDF) is a key biomarker of male infertility. Examen’s SDF tests are the brand of choice amongst consultants in 80% of the UK & Ireland’s leading private fertility clinics.
Unrivalled Accuracy
Conventional semen parameters are accepted to have limited diagnostic value for male infertility. In contrast, sperm DNA damage is known to be a robust biomarker of male infertility and miscarriage.
Examen’s fertility tests have the highest sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing male infertility when compared to other sperm DNA tests, and provide insight to help you determine the most appropriate medical interventions and lifestyle changes to improve your patient’s sperm DNA and fertility.
Highest Quality & Standards
Examen are ISO 13485 certified for the design, development and manufacture of in vitro diagnostic DNA-based assays for sperm cell analysis (Certificate No: MD 723205, issued by BSI Assurance UK), ensuring the highest standards in in vitro diagnostic test development.
Our tests are registered with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the European Database on Medical Devices (EUDAMED). Additionally, a number of our laboratory services are accredited to ISO 15189 (UKAS Laboratory Number: 25925), reflecting our dedication to providing accurate and reliable diagnostic testing.
Our certifications demonstrate our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest levels of quality and safety in all aspects of our work and adhering to internationally recognised standards.
Deep Experience & Expertise
Unlike other SDF tests, Examen uses a high degree of human skill and experience to produce your results. Our highly-skilled laboratory team process and score each test, ensuring only sperm cells are included in the result (other machine-based tests e.g. SCSA can include debris and round cells as part of their index score).
Examen’s attention to detail coupled with rigorous quality control and customer service excellence, provides all the ingredients for a successful Clinic/Laboratory testing partnership enabling our partner clinics to provide an unrivalled service to their patients.
