Sperm Storage

What is cryopreservation?
Storing sperm, also known as cryopreservation is an extremely effective means of preserving sperm. The sperm is frozen in liquid nitrogen tanks at a temperature of -196 °C.  When properly stored, cryopreservation does not appear to alter or damage genetic material, and specimens will remain viable for almost an indefinite period of time. Pregnancies have been reported with sperm that has been stored for up to 40 years.

Why should I store sperm?

• The most common reasons for preserving fertility in a sperm storage are the following: You purchase donor sperm from one of our sperm donors, and you want to store sperm for future use. Please see SellmerDiers Donor Storage Account for further details.
