We understand that utilizing anonymous donor semen in your reproductive treatment is a very personal decision and important step in your goal of building a family.  By choosing to use ReproMed’s donor semen, you are selecting the highest quality product available for Canadian families to achieve pregnancy.  ReproMed is proud to be the Canadian leader in sperm bank services.  The following are the distinguishing features as to why so many patients and clinics across the country turn to ReproMed for their donor semen needs.

Safety – ReproMed employs the strictest guidelines outlined by the Canadian Semen Regulation in the acquisition, screening, storage, and shipment of semen.  Some these items include: ReproMed extends its testing protocols beyond the minimum regulatory requirements to ensure that only the safest sperm samples are offered to patients.  We specifically test for West Nile Virus, Mycoplasma, and Ureaplasma - tests that are not conducted on semen samples imported from the United States. At ReproMed we also test for multiple diseases and genetic disorders such as Cystic Fibrosis, Tay-Sachs, thalassemia, and sickle cell anemia. ReproMed is also the only sperm bank to avoid the introduction of animal / avian protein in the preparation of our specimens.  Despite the added cost of using alternative protein supplements, we believe patient safety comes first.  Additionally, antibiotics are not used in any of our freezing media to avoid any potential side effects. Quality – ReproMed has a long history in the field of sperm bank services and as a result, our laboratory processes the highest quality samples for our patients.  In addition to the routine sperm parameters such as counts of motility, we also test for the sperm morphology using strict criteria and the presence of anti-sperm antibodies.  These parameters are very important in determining the sperm ability to fertilize and affect your chances of becoming pregnant.  These tests are not done on sperm samples imported from the United States. Compliance – All of our specimens are 100% compliant with the Canadian Semen Regulation.  We are the only sperm bank in Canada that is actually inspected on-site annually by Health Canada, who vigorously reviews not only sample documentation, but all of our practices and procedures.  This is not the case with semen importers.   You can feel comfortable knowing that the product you will receive will be fully compliant within the laws that govern semen disbursement especially in the area of donor reimbursement.  Donors are motivated altruistically in working with ReproMed. Canadian Samples – Our catalogue is composed of 100% Canadian donors.  Not only does our donor base reflect the diverse population of the Canadian population, we are proud to promote the Canadian element in building new families.  This supply is not threatened by the potential restrictions of importing semen from other countries.  Embracing a strong standard of ethics, ReproMed has a proactive policy to impose restrictions on sperm distribution to limit the number of offspring from a donor in a particular area. Price – ReproMed is the most cost effective supplier of semen in Canada.  We recognize the fact that Reproductive Medicine can be an expensive procedure for many patients and our goal is to make this component as cost effective as possible in helping to treat a couple’s infertility.  We also offer volume discounts and special rates for storage. Access to Donor Information – ReproMed is glad to provide you with free of charge a Donor Portfolio for each specimen in the catalogue.  This provides you with information such as physical features, family history, educational history, skills & abilities, preferences, personality traits, anatomical features, and medical history.  You will also receive access to the Donor Temperament Report which gives an in-depth look to the donor’s personal characteristics.
