ICI specimens may be washed in HTF(human tubal fluid) media only, or completely un-washed. This format is appropriate for home-vaginal, intracervical(ICI) use, or for IVF use. Volume 0.7-1.2cc |
|||
| |
|||
| IUI specimens have been washed through Pure Sperm and re-suspended in HTF media prior to freezing. These units are IUI ready when thawed. Prepared for intrauterine insemination, but also great for home-vaginal, intracervical or IVF use. These units are concentrated into a lower volume but with a higher motility. Volume 0.4-0.7cc. | |||
| All donors are frozen in both of the above formats, but not all donors will be available in both formats at all times. Please check for availability. ICI specimens may be washed prior to insemination, but initial sperm motility must be checked prior to washing. We are not responsible for sperm mortality due to post thaw handling or washing. | |||

Return Policy If, for any reason you need to return un-used frozen donor units to the lab, you must notify the lab of your intent, and include a written note inside the shipping box, so that the returning dewar is immediately checked for the returning units. If you do not notify the lab of the returning units, you will assume all risk of the units not being discovered and their subsequent loss. If donor units are returned to the lab and the units have already been destroyed by thawing out before they get back to us and the dewar has been out in excess of 15 days, there is no refund available. No refund or exchange credit will be issued for lost units when returned without notification prior to their arrival at the lab. Call 1-800-786-5251. Upon arrival, the donor units are returned to liquid nitrogen storage. If the units are to be re-shipped to you for use in your next cycle, you will only be billed a $25 handling fee for restocking the units into liquid storage inventory. If the returned units are not reshipped within one month, you will start to incur storage charges at the rate of $20 per month. Failure to pay any storage charges incurred as they become due may result in the destruction of specimens.
Refund Policy If you have purchased specimens prior to the units coming out of quarantine, and the specimens have not left our facility, we will make a complete refund within one week of the original purchase, minus a $10 processing fee. If it has been in excess of one week since original purchase of quarantined specimens there will be a $25 inventory handling/restocking charge. If you keep pre-purchased donor specimens (out of quarantine) stored here, you can get a 75% refund if the units are turned back over to us (returned) while the donor is still a listed donor on our current donor listing. If you return/release 6 or more units of pre-purchased donor specimens (out of quarantine) that have never left our facility after the donor has been removed from our active donor listing, you will receive a 50% refund. If a donor is no longer listed as a donor for sale, and you return/release fewer than 6 units of pre-purchased donor specimens (out of quarantine), there is no refund available. Once units leave our facility we are unable to refund or exchange for any reason other than if units are proven to not meet our guarantee guidelines**. We cannot re-sell any donor specimens to another client once the specimens have left our physical control for any amount of time under any circumstances. **Refund or replacement can only be made when proof of specimen failure is provided in written format and 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 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. 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. |

Shipping: |

| NOTICE: WINTER WEATHER CAN AND WILL EFFECT DELIVERY SERVICES. PLEASE PLAN AHEAD AS THERE ARE NO REFUNDS AVAILABLE FOR TRANSIT TIME DELAYS CAUSED BY ACTS OF GOD, WHICH INCLUDES DRASTIC WEATHER ANYWHERE IN THE CARRIERS SYSTEM (not just your delivery location). |

| We ship in dry nitrogen dewars that are designed, and charged with nitrogen coolant, to hold specimens frozen and ready to use for up to 14-18 days if kept upright and closed. You are renting this equipment when an order is shipped to you. We **guarantee (see below) the dewar to hold it's coolant charge for at least seven days after delivery to you. These dewars are shipped in a cardboard box that is 12" by 12" by 24", and weigh approximately 25 lbs. This makes shipping costly, but allows you the maximum convenience in timing your inseminations. You are allowed seven days rental of the dewar included in the price of shipping in order to time your insemination(s) . If you keep the dewar in excess of the seven days, you will be charged a daily dewar rental fee of $10/day. The return of the dewar is included in the shipping fee for all shipments within the United States only. If the dewar is shipped to you via UPS, a call tag will be issued for its pickup and return. If your shipment is made through DHL, an airbill for its' return is included in the shipment. All you have to do is call for a pick-up. We can ship from one to thirty vials at a time for the same cost. For more details on the use of the shipping dewar click here. | |||
| We prefer to have a three or more business day advanced notice of need to deliver. Deliveries can be made with shorter notice, but the cost can escalate for type of service needed. Please give us the best estimate of time needed as soon as possible in your cycle so as to simplify logistics and reduce your costs. Please plan to have your specimens arrive 2-3 days prior to your anticipated ovulation date. This provides a cushion of time in case you ovulate a day or two earlier than expected, and yet the 7 days use of the dewar will still cover adequately if you end up ovulating one or two days later than expected. If you order on the same day that your specimens need to be shipped from our facility, you will be charged a late order fee of $25 if placed prior to 12 pm, or an emergency rush order fee of $50 if placed after 12 pm but before 3 pm. Please try to avoid placing your order for specimens late, as it costs you more, and it makes it difficult for us. The dewars that we ship with are expensive, and you must provide complete client registration information or you will be required to place a $500 refundable deposit with us prior to shipments. Dewar deposit by credit card is not accepted. Dewar deposits can be made in advance with US money order, cashiers checks through US banks, Western Union funding, or by wire transfer of funding. Please call our office for instructions for Western Union pickup location or for wire transfer information. | |||

| Exception #3 New York State: Physicians, PAs, and Nurses performing donor insemination in New York State are only able to use donor specimens from banks that license themselves with the State of New York. New York state has their own special licensure, and has created a complex regulatory burden. As such, many US donor banks have chosen not to obtain NY licensure. Unless using an out of state physician, this effectively reduces the number of potential donors that a NY client can choose from as it eliminates about half of the sperm bank donor selections that clients in the rest of the USA can pick from. We are not licensed through the State of New York, and do not plan to do so at this time. Under some instances, if you are unable to find a suitable donor through banks that are licensed with the state, your NY doctor can submit paperwork for exemption which permits you to use donor specimens from a bank that is not licensed through the state. If such exemption is obtained, we have no problem shipping under such exemption. | |||

the import of donor semen. In NSW, Queensland, Australian Capital
Territory, and Tasmania there is no state legislation that we are
currently aware of, so there may not be any regulation of the import
of screened sperm, but you should check with clinics in those regions.
Victoria, West Australia, and South Australia do have legislation
concerning the import, so you would need to check with them to see
what the requirements are for each region. We were provided the
following contacts to obtain information regarding local regulation
concerning import of donor sperm specimens.
