Freezing Centers for Cancer Patients
ReproTech works closely with fertility centers across the United States to make sperm banking services available nationwide. While RTL does not provide sperm freezing services, our network of freezing centers will. Once specimens have been banked, we will coordinate the transportation of your semen to RTL for long term storage.  Please see the ReproTech Network of Freezing Centers to learn more about the network.

Sperm Banking by Air
The OverNite Male™ Kit is a convenient tool for patients who have difficulty traveling to one of the many ReproTech Fertility Preservation Network Clinics. These patients can now collect their specimens at home and FedEx® the specimen(s) directly to the University Andrology Laboratory using our OverNite Male™ Kit. The OverNite Male™ Kit is the original overnight sperm banking system and the only one with 15 years of proven success.

Testing Requirements
Standard storage fees are assessed for individuals (or gamete donors) who have completed and are non-reactive for at least Anti-HIV 1&2 (AIDS) testing.  Sperm specimens will be accepted without Anti-HIV 1&2 (AIDS) or reactive testing at a higher storage fee.

We will accept semen specimens from patients who have tested reactive for one or more of the following: Anti-HIV 1&2, HCV, HTLV I&II, and HBsAg.

Standards and/or Regulations require that patients complete the HBsAg, Anti-HCV in addition to Anti-HIV 1&2 testing prior to release of specimens from RTL for transfer back to patient’s clinic for his use. 


Potentially Infectious
RTL provides sperm storage services for patients who have tested reactive for a sexually transmitted disease, such as HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or HTLV I&II. In addition, we supply a shipping tank into which these cryopreserved tissues are immediately transferred and shipped to RTL for storage. We have separate shipping tanks, storage tanks and fee schedule for potentially infectious tissue.

1. Registration - This form gives us information about the patient and identifies the method of payment of fees.

This form defines additional terms and conditions of storage and shipping that apply to potentially infectious specimens.
