How We Protect Your Child’s Health Through Testing

When you choose to build your family through donor sperm, trust and safety come first.  It’s true that you’re selecting a donor. However, it is impotant to note that you’re also make one of the most important decisions of your life. You’re taking an action that will help you grow your family.

hat’s why every step of the sperm donation process is grounded in science, ethics, and care. At our cryobank, protecting your future child’s health begins long before insemination. There are several steps, such as testing, genetic screening, and continuous monitoring. Our goal is to ensure that every donor meets the highest medical standards. Here’s a look at how we do that:

Comprehensive Medical Screening

Every donor application begins with a full medical evaluation. This includes a detailed personal and family health history going back at least three generations. We look for hereditary conditions, chronic illnesses, and any potential red flags that could impact offspring health.

Donors also undergo physical examinations by licensed physicians, assessing everything from overall fitness to reproductive health. Only a small percentage of applicants make it through this stage. The reason for this is that your family deserves only the best-qualified donors!

Advanced Infectious Disease Testing

Before a single sample is approved for use, it undergoes extensive infectious disease testing in compliance with FDA and international standards. This testing includes:

• HIV Types I and II

• Hepatitis B and C

• Syphilis (RPR test)

• Chlamydia and Gonorrhea

• Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Each donor is re-tested at regular intervals to ensure ongoing safety. Every sample is quarantined for a defined period, then released only after all tests return negative results. This multilayered process eliminates risk and provides peace of mind to every recipient family.

Genetic and Carrier Screening

Today’s genetic science allows us to go deeper than ever before. All donors undergo extensive genetic carrier screeningto detect potential hereditary conditions such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, and hundreds more. It pays to be safe.

This testing identifies whether a donor carries genes for inherited conditions, even if they have no symptoms themselves. When combined with recipient screening, this helps prevent passing on genetic disorders and ensures compatibility between donor and recipient.

For families, this means added confidence for your donor’s health but also in the health of your future child.

Continuous Monitoring and Quality Control

Testing doesn’t end once a donor is accepted. Our medical and laboratory teams perform routine quality checks on every sample, monitoring sperm count, motility, and morphology to ensure consistent, high-quality performance.

Each vial is frozen using state-of-the-art cryopreservation techniques that maintain cellular integrity for years. And throughout the donor’s participation, health updates and re-screenings are mandatory, so every donation reflects the most current, accurate data.

Protecting your child’s health is an ongoing commitment woven into everything we do. When you choose a donor, it’s about more than just the genetic material.  You’re choosing trust, science, and care that prioritize the wellbeing of your future family. Behind every vial, there’s a promise: to protect life, from the very beginning.
