Home Semen Freezing
Now you can have your semen frozen without leaving your home!
We now make it possible for you to freeze your semen for future use without having to leave your home. The all new Home Cryopreservation Kit does it all for you. All you have to do is collect a semen sample and ship it to ZDL and they will freeze your specimen for up to one year. It's as easy as that!
How does it work?
Once you place your order, ZDL will ship the special BioTranz Semen Shipper to you. You do not necessarily have to use the bio-Tranz immediately. You may store the buffer and the ice pack that comes with the Bio-Tranz in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator, until you are ready to collect the specimen. Before you collect the specimen, be sure to thaw the buffer prior to use. Collect the semen during intercourse using the specially designed non-spermicidal condom.
Once the sample is collected, follow the instructions to place the semen in the test tube. Add an equal volume of the thawed buffer (freezing medium) to the semen sample and mix gently. Place the test tube back in the Bio-Tranz, and have the container overnight shipped back to ZDL offices.
After ZDL experts receive the Bio-Tranz, the specimen will be frozen utilizing the best semen cryopreservation technologies available in the market today. You will be sent a confirmation with a Cryopreservation Tracking Number for future reference.

*Disclaimer
The Home Cryopreservation Kit (The Bio-Tranz™) is a unique service which allows you to have your semen shipped overnight, and cryopreserved at the Andrology Institute of America. The survival of sperm after thawing is dependant on the inital quality of the sperm sample prior to cryopreservation. It is highly recommended that the sample be evaluated prior to the procedure using the Mock Cryopreservation Kit in order to identify any possible deficiencies that you may have in your semen. We do check for a variety of semen parameters that are established by the WHO as predictive of one's ability to fertilize and achieve a pregnancy. If the sample is deemed not suitable for Cryopreservation as evidenced by the Mock Cryopreservation Kit, then we would not recommend this procedure for you.
This kit does not inlcude cryostorage charges, nor the processing, shipping and handling, if we were to ship the cryopreserved specimen to another location. We cannot guarantee the outcome of the Home Cryopreservation procedure. It is important to realize that semen parameters could vary from sample to sample, and therefore the Mock Cryopreservation Kit may in some cases not be predictive of the actual Cryopreservation Procedure done at another time.
Also, any form of artificial insemination is a physician prescribed procedure and it should be performed by or under the guidance of a qualified physician.
Due to the time sensitive nature of materials in the Home Cryopreservation Kits (The Bio-Tranz™), these kits cannot be returned for a refund.
