Reagent Test Sperm Count Male Fertility Self Test at Home

Normal sperm densities range from 15 million to greater than 200 million sperm per milliliter of semen. You are considered to have a low sperm count if you have fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter or less than 39 million sperm total per ejaculat

SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION:

1. Before testing, it is important that you refrain from any sexual activity for 3-7 days. This ensures that the volume and quality of sperm is at its peak and the test will then be an accurate determination of sperm concentration.
2. Using masturbation, the semen should be collected directly into the sperm collection cup.
3. Care should be taken that collected semen is not contaminated by touch of hands or tissues or any other materials.
4. Shake the semen evenly in the semen collection cup and leave it to stand for 15 minutes at room temperature until the semen liquefy. Do not use semen stored for more than 12 hours.

TEST PROCEDURE:

1. Remove the test cassette from the foil pouch and lay it horizontally on a flat surface. Using the dropper provided in the foil pouch, dispense one drop of semen into sample well marked "A".
2. Once the semen is soaked into well "A", add three drops of the blue staining solution to test well "A". Let it soak for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add two drops of the transparent washing solution to test well "A", and let it soak for 1-2 minutes, and then read the results immediately.
4. Read the colour of test well "A", comparing the colour of test well "A" to reference well "B". The darker the colour of well "A", the higher the sperm concentration.
