Exact Fertility™
Accurate assessment of sperm DNA damage, a key biomarker of male infertility
Exact Fertility
Why Exact Fertility™?
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. Exact Fertility™ has the highest sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing male infertility when compared to other sperm DNA tests. Exact Fertility™ testing can help you decide on the most appropriate medical or surgical interventions and lifestyle changes to improve your patient’s sperm DNA and fertility.

Your patients can choose to order their Exact Fertility™ test online. Patients will be sent a sample collection kit and will be responsible for managing the process themselves. They will need to book an appointment at an Examen Hub to produce or drop off a semen sample. Our courier service collects patient samples from our Hub on a weekly basis. Results are available within 14 working days of your patient’s appointment at the Hub.
Healthcare Professional Tests
Exact IVF™
Select the optimal fertility treatment for your patient – from their first cycle
Identify normozoospermic men with an increased risk of IVF failure due to high levels of sperm DNA damage.
Why Exact IVF™?
Conventional semen parameters are accepted to have limited prognostic value for IVF treatment. Exact IVF™ is the only sperm DNA test that is predictive of IVF fertilisation rate, embryo and blastocyst quality, implantation rate, pregnancy rate and live birth rate. ICSI is a more successful treatment than IVF for patients with high sperm DNA damage. Exact IVF™ testing can help you decide between IVF and ICSI and on medical, surgical or lifestyle interventions to improve your patient’s sperm DNA and chances of IVF success.

Exact IVF™ is available on request only to healthcare professionals. You can refer your patient to TDL for testing or contact us to discuss suitable alternatives.

Exact ICSI™
Optimise your patient’s ICSI treatment – from their first cycle
Identify oligozoospermic men with an increased risk of ICSI failure due to high levels of sperm DNA damage.
Why Exact ICSI™?
Conventional semen parameters are accepted to have limited prognostic value for ICSI treatment. Exact ICSI™ is the only sperm DNA test that is predictive of ICSI live birth rate. ICSI is most successful when sperm with limited DNA damage are used. Sperm DNA damage can be improved by medical and surgical interventions such as varicocele repair or treating underlying infections. Sperm with lower levels of DNA damage can sometimes be retrieved from a testicular biopsy. Exact ICSI™ testing can help you decide on medical, surgical or lifestyle interventions to improve your patient’s sperm DNA and chances of ICSI success.

Exact ICSI™ can only be requested by a healthcare professional. You can refer your patient to TDL for testing or contact us to discuss suitable alternatives.
