SpermCheck Fertility is an accurate, affordable and easy-to-use home test for determining your sperm count! With SpermCheck, you will know within minutes if your sperm count is within "normal" range (above 20 million sperm per milliliter of semen is the accepted standard for "normal" sperm count). A positive result indicates that your sperm count is above 20 million sperm per milliliter of semen. A negative result indicates that the count is below the 20 million sperm per milliliter threshold, and that further testing by your doctor might be warranted to determine if low sperm count is causing any fertility issues.
SpermCheck Fertility works by detecting an antigen (a protein compound) found on the surface of the head of a sperm cell known as SP-10. Research has shown that SP-10 concentrations can be used to determine sperm count number.
To perform the test, you will mix your semen with a detergent-containing substance, called a buffer, which releases the SP-10 protein from the sperm. When a few drops of this mixture are added to the sample wells, the SP-10 proteins contained in the mixture bind to a different protein compound containing colloidal gold.
As this newly formed gold-SP10 complex flows through the test membrane, it will cause a reddish line to appear at the "test line" position in the results window if your sperm count is at least 20 million sperm per milliliter, indicating that you have a "normal" sperm count. If your sperm count is lower than 20 million sperm per milliliter, no reddish line will appear at the test line position. Studies conducted at the University of Virginia found the SpermCheck Fertility test to be accurate 96 times out of 100.
