ANDROLOGY AND LABORATORY SERVICES Contents: Andrology Services 1. Complete semen analysis including volume, liquefaction, viscosity, pH, concentration, morphology, motility, forward progression, and evaluation of extracellular artifacts.
2. Viability assessment: usually employed in situations of sperm immobility. There are some instances when immotile sperm cells are actually viable. A viability stain can determine if the sperm is alive or not. Viable sperm exclude the stain, while dead sperm take in the stain. 3. Peroxidase stain: used to determine the concentration of white blood cells in the semen sample. The presence of white blood cells in a semen sample (i.e., pyospermia) may indicate the presence of an infection in the reproductive tract. 4. Quantitative fructose test: detects the presence of fructose in semen. Fructose is a marker for seminal vesicle function, and is present in semen except when the ejaculatory ducts are obstructed or congenitally absent. 5. Sperm washing: includes the double-wash, swim-up, gradient-medium, and retrograde methods. Fertility Testing (Blood Tests) 1. Fertility Profile 1: includes T4, FSH, LH, Estradiol, and TSH. 2. Fertility Profile 2: includes Estradiol and Prolactin. General Laboratory Testing Idant Laboratories has three contracted major reference clinical laboratories to perform laboratory testing.
