How Long Can We Store Sperm?

Banked sperm is known to last for a very long time, however, it depends whether the conditions it’s stored in are favourable or not.¹ Additionally, there is a report which shows that sperm stored for over 40 years were still viable and gave successful live birth through IVF.² Nevertheless, sperm are usually stored frozen for up to 10 years, which may differ from sperm bank to sperm bank. To ensure the quality of the sperm, it must be stored in a specialised tank at a temperature of -196°C and the sperm must be regularly monitored for any changes in quality or viability.¹ Furthermore, the storage containers must be properly maintained and kept free from any external contaminants. All of these steps ensure that the sperm remains viable and of high quality during its storage.
