Looking to store sperm for future use? Get secure short and long-term storage.
We store sperm safely and effectively via cryopreservation (freezing process), where the sperm is kept frozen in liquid nitrogen tanks at a temperature of -196 degrees celsius. Cryopreservation does not impact the genetic material and keeps the specimens viable for an indefinite period - meaning that using frozen sperm is possible for your fertility treatment at your fertility clinic. In fact, pregnancies have been achieved using sperm that has been stored for up to 40 years.
There are several reasons to store sperm – to ensure your preferred donor’s sperm remains available, to preserve your own fertility or if you may wish to start a family at a later time in your life. Whatever your needs, we have a variety of storage options to help you keep sperm safe for future use:
Donor Sperm Storage
For ethical and legal reasons, there’s a limit on how many times a specific donor’s sperm can be sold in a specific country, or even worldwide. Once you’ve found your perfect donor match in our catalogue, you might want to consider storing their sperm and buying exclusive rights for future use and potential future siblings. Storing your chosen donor sperm is a good idea if you:
Personal Sperm Storage
Many men or couples opt to freeze their sperm if they are concerned that lifestyle factors or medical issues may impact their fertility. If you wish to preserve your sperm for future use, storage might be a good idea if you:
None of the above apply? Don’t hesitate to reach out with the specifics of your situation so we can guide you to a solution.
Personal sperm storage is priced at 990 euros and includes:
Known Donor Sperm Storage
Instead of purchasing sperm from a sperm bank, you might have a specific donor in mind. A known donor is a term for somebody who is not your partner or spouse - such as a friend – who has privately agreed to make a sperm donation to you to help you start a family.
With our sperm storage, you can freeze and store your known donor’s sperm until you are ready to begin fertility treatment.
Similarly to the donors who work with us, Danish law requires that your known donor undergo extensive medical testing and screening - for more information about the specifics, please see our screening page
Things to Think About
There are some key ways that using known donor sperm may differ from the donor sperm in our catalogue.
Where our donors’ sperm quality is carefully screened according to the highest standards, it may be possible for your known donor to show a lower sperm count and still qualify for storage. Please note that this may result in lower pregnancy rates when compared with the donors in our catalogue.
Using a known donor – with whom you have an existing social relationship – may also require more legal, medical and ethical considerations than relying on a sperm donor from our bank. It may also give rise to complicated questions or dilemmas about the donor’s relationship to your child. Before embarking on your fertility journey with the help of a known donor, we recommend that both parties seek appropriate medical, legal and psychological advice.
