Description

DNA fragmentation analysis of spermatozoa by flow cytometry following fixation. Assessment of spermatozoa DNA damage is performed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL).

SPECIMEN TYPE: Semen (fresh or in special fixative solution)

SAMPLE COLLECTION: Self collected 

SAMPLE STORAGE & SHIPPING: Samples should be stored, until shipping, at low temperature (4◦- 8◦) in the refrigerator. Next day delivery (24-36 hours) is required. Ship at room temperature using the fertlity kit box. Delivery of samples to FERTILYSIS should be planned between Monday and Friday but not during the Weekend. Sample collection and pick-up by courier should take place on the same day.

RESULT TURNAROUND TIME: Depending on how busy the lab is, we estimate you will get your results within 10 business days from the day your sample reach us *.

* Please be advised that the turnaround time for specialized diagnostic tests is indicative and not guaranteed and may be extended due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to need for additional clinical evaluation of results, repeat of analysis in cases of unclear or ambiguous results and need for resampling in case of inadequate specimen quality. Therefore, the results will be available in the indicated timeframe as long as there are no additional overheads, as stated above, that may extend turnaround time.
