The Extend Sperm DNA Fragmentation Test is a specialised diagnostic test designed to assess the integrity of sperm DNA by exclusively measuring double-strand DNA breaks (dsDB).
The Extend test focuses on identifying and quantifying double-strand DNA breaks in sperm cells. Unlike single-strand breaks, dsDB are more challenging to repair and can often indicate deeper issues at the point of sperm production. By exclusively measuring dsDB, the Extend test provides a precise evaluation of sperm DNA integrity, offering critical insights into male fertility.
