SpermVault can be availed by men between the age of 21 to 55 years.
Sperm banking is usually recommended for men who look to start a family in the future. That said, the scope of sperm banking is not limited to men who wish to postpone fatherhood. Men from military backgrounds, men diagnosed with terminal or life-impacting diseases such as cancer, or men undergoing surgical treatments that may have an impact on their reproductive health are also recommended to store their sperm. This ensures that their dreams of fatherhood are not compromised.
While sperm can be stored indefinitely, at LifeCell, based on your reproductive goals, we offer cryogenic storage facilities for your specimen for a minimum of one year and no longer than ten years beyond which you may either undergo fertility treatment or discard and dispose of the specimen.
The kit will reach you within 3-5 business days from the date of your purchase. In case you do not receive the kit email us at contactus@lifecell.in

The amount of semen, sperm count and sperm motility starts decreasing continually from the age of 20. The decrease is quite significant from the age of 30. Hence though there is no specified age for sperm banking, it is recommended to preserve at an early age when all the sperm parameters are at their best.
No. SpermVault is a fertility preservation tool. It ensures that your sperm does not age while you do. The use of stored sperm for conception has been proven to be successful. Medical complications are out of the control of humans. Sperm banking can help you reduce the extent of possible medical and reproductive complications since your sperm is preserved when you are relatively young.

Simply put, you have 3 fertilization opportunities with artificial insemination (IUI) and 3 with IVF treatment.
The decision depends upon the choice of the health insurance company and the policy that you have subscribed to. You would need to check your eligibility with your insurance provider.
We will notify you regarding the expiry of your agreement, along with the terms of continued storage. Accordingly, you may choose to enter into a new agreement and continue the storage of your sperms or retrieve your sample.
Two clinical studies on the successful use of human sperm preserved for more than 20 years have been published. In vitro fertilization with semen preserved for 21 years and IUI with semen held for 28 years have both resulted in live infants. In vitro fertilization utilizing semen kept for nearly 40 years has also resulted in the birth of twins.
Post preservation, you can retrieve your sample anytime, on demand! You have complete control over your frozen samples, so you can opt to retrieve them whenever you want, as long as you give us 14 days' notice

After receiving the sample, it is primarily analyzed for concentration and motility and followed by the purification of motile sperm cells by density gradient centrifugation technique. The sample is then analyzed for semen volume, sperm concentration, total number, total motility, progressive motility, morphology, vitality and total motile count. Your results will be ready within 24 hours after we receive your sample.
The processed sample will be aliquoted based on the total motile count (TMC) followed by the addition of cryoprotectant to help sustain the viability of the sperm, controlled rate freezing and finally storage in secured cryo-chambers.
In recent times, studies have shown that cryopreservation or freezing of human sperm has resulted in successful fertilization conducted using the frozen sperm. In order to ensure that your sperm sustains the freezing, storage, and thawing process, a cryoprotectant buffer 9 is added to your sample to protect it. Research suggests that approximately 50% 8 of the sperm survive the freezing, storage, and thawing processes without jeopardizing the viability of the sperm for future use.
It isn't always a problem, as the healthiest of sperms can be frozen and used later, irrespective of the volume.
