What you need to order
Your Physician/Clinic Information

Including name, address, telephone and fax number.

Your Identification

Including name, telephone number and date of birth.

Your Donor Selections

We suggest being prepared with at least three alternatives.

Number of Insemination Units You Want

Our Patient Support Team can help guide you on the number of units required based on your treatment and family planning goals.

Vial Type

Make sure you select the correct bank from which the donor originated (Canadian, Restricted, Imported). Up to three vial types may be offered. Check with your clinic or doctor about the type of vials (preparation) that they wish to use in your treatment protocol.

See also our Quality Control Policy for minimum guaranteed motile sperm quantity for each preparation type.

  • Un-washed Preparation: A cryoprotectant is added to the raw semen prior to freezing. Each insemination unit (I.U.) contains 0.8 mL of cryopreserved semen. The specimen is considered ready for use in intracervical insemination (ICI).
  • Washed Preparation: The liquid portion of the semen specimen is removed by a centrifuge and replaced with a biological buffer. A cryoprotectant is added to the washed semen specimen prior to freezing. Each I.U. contains 0.6 mL of cryopreserved semen. The specimen is considered ready for use in intrauterine insemination (IUI).
  • IVF/ICSI Preparation: These are vials processed using the Standard protocol. The sperm concentration is less to meet the lower requirements of IVF/ICSI.
Date & Time Specimens Are Needed

Check with your clinic or doctor on the date that your vials will need to be onsite for your treatment. Origin Sperm Bank will then ship these vials to arrive on the desired date.

Your Storage Preferences

Determine if you are going to ship all the vials to your clinic or doctor now, or if you’ll be storing some of your unused vials at Origin. Note: storage fees may apply at your clinic or at Origin.

If you order six or more vials, you receive a discount on the unit price, and you receive free one-year storage. Make sure you indicate the free storage option when prompted.

Your Shipping Requirements

Choose from Priority Shipping or Same-Day Service.

Billing Requirements

If you are being billed directly, contact us. Origin Sperm Bank staff will be happy to assist you with your arrangements or answer any questions.
