Why are our prices so reasonable compared to many other banks?
A better question may be why do some of the other banks charge so much?
We work hard to minimize our overhead in order to offer to you one of the best values on the market. Providing our clients with high value is an integral part of our business philosophy. We understand that fertility health care and the use of donor sperm specimens is expensive.

All donor semen is provided in 1.2 cc cryovials. Volume of the specimen will vary between 0.4 and 1.2 milliliters depending upon the format and sperm concentration. All vials are frozen to provide upon thaw a minimum motile sperm concentration of 20 million per cc and may be as high as 50 million per cc or more. We will replace or refund any vial that is found defective from these standards**. All donor semen is to be paid for in advance of shipping unless billed through your physicians office. This greatly reduces our overhead, which helps us to keep our prices as low as possible. Click this link to see our payment information page.

All donor specimens are frozen with the use of a TYB (test yolk buffer) or other cryoprotectant to aid in the recovery from being frozen and to provide the sperm with the appropriate environment. Our freezing medias are antibiotic free, and use glycerol as the cryoprotectant.

  **Refund or replacement can only be made when proof of specimen failure is provided in written format, the specimen is retained and available for return to our facility at our option, and a written specimen analysis report is provided to us detailing the analysis results performed by qualified personnel. All claims for refund due to specimen quality must be processed within 30 days of specimen receipt as we have no control over outside storage facilities, and should be reported to us as soon as is practical. Sperm count guarantees apply only to specimens upon appropriate initial thaw, complete mixing, and prior to any additional handling or washing procedures that may be performed at the descretion of the processing laboratory. Qualified personnel include MDs, Med Techs, Embryologists, or Clinical Laboratory Scientists licensed and qualified for high complexity testing procedures through CLIA and performing routine sperm counts. We will not make refund on specimens that are used for insemination that then claim the specimen was faulty. We make every effort to assure that our specimens are processed and shipped to provide you with good sperm and in good condition.
