Washing and Preparation Sperm

The purpose of sperm washing it to remove dead sperm and chemicals that interfere with fertilisation to enable:

• The fastest swimming sperm with the best shape and size to be concentrated before use in ART and IVF procedures

• Up to 80% separation of X and Y bearing sperm to provide opportunity to balance the sex in the family

• To remove bacteria and virus including HIV particularly in HIV discordant couples.

The Sperm Washing and Preparation service involves carefully processing and purifying sperm to separate healthy, motile sperm cells from non-motile or abnormal ones. This advanced laboratory procedure enhances the chances of successful fertilization, especially for assisted reproductive techniques such as IUI or IVF. It ensures only the highest-quality sperm are used, improving conception outcomes and supporting safe, effective fertility treatment.
