DNA Fragmentation Testing (DNA Frag) goes beyond standard semen analysis to evaluate the genetic integrity of sperm. Using the Sperm Chromatin Dispersion (SCD) method, our in-vitro diagnostic tool calculates a Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) — a critical marker in identifying potential causes of infertility and guiding treatment decisions.
Sperm DNA Damage
Detects sperm DNA Frag, often linked to male infertility, reduced embryo quality, and poor reproduction.
Categorizes DNA Integrity
Classifies sperm into five levels of DNA fragmentation for clear interpretation per WHO 6th Edition.
Color-coded reports
HIPAA compliant reporting indicating sperm count, ratio of halo size, size of halos, no halos and degraded Sperm.
Why DNA Frag Testing Matters
Even sperm that appear normal under a microscope can carry DNA damage that affects fertility potential. High DNA fragmentation can be associated with:
Reduced chances of natural conception
Lower success rates in IUI, IVF, and ICSI treatments
Increased risk of miscarriage
Poor embryo development outcomes
By assessing DNA integrity, providers can make more informed treatment recommendations and patients can understand a deeper level of their reproductive health.
