Sperm-Chex Post VC is a post-vasectomy sperm count control that validates the manual post-vasectomy sperm count procedure. Comprised of real stabilized sperm cells, it can be handled like a patient sample and contains positive and negative sperm count samples to verify sperm quantification methods.
Sperm-Chex Post VC is assayed for use with hemacytometers and other commercially available manual counting chambers and is available in a kit containing two 300 µL vials, one positive and one negative sperm count sample.
Provides a positive and negative sperm count sample
Compatible with hemacytometers and other counting chambers
42-day open-vial stability; 12-month closed-vial stability
Helps clinical laboratories meet quality requirements for vasectomy sperm counts
Performs the same as a patient sample for chamber loading
Simulates the sperm cell concentration that lab technologists encounter in patient samples
Long shelf life reduces the number of shipments and associated costs

Sperm-Chex Post VC is a post-vasectomy sperm count control that validates the manual post-vasectomy sperm count procedure. Comprised of real stabilized sperm cells, Sperm-Chex Post VC can be handled like a patient sample and contains positive and negative sperm count samples to verify sperm quantification methods.
Sperm-Chex provides two clinically significant positive sperm count levels for general fertility testing. Sperm-Chex Post VC is specifically designed for post-vasectomy verification and provides one positive sperm count sample and one negative sperm count sample. The negative control is critical for confirming that laboratories can correctly identify the absence of sperm in post-vasectomy specimens.
Post-vasectomy testing requires verification that no sperm are present in the sample. A negative control validates that the laboratory’s procedure can correctly identify the absence of sperm and that technologists are not misidentifying other cells or debris as sperm. Sperm-Chex Post VC provides this negative verification along with a positive control to ensure the complete procedure is functioning correctly.
Yes, Sperm-Chex Post VC contains real stabilized sperm cells instead of latex beads. This ensures patient sample-like chamber loading and optical characteristics, simulating the sperm cell concentration that lab technologists encounter in actual patient samples for more realistic quality control.
Sperm-Chex Post VC offers 42-day open-vial stability and 12-month closed-vial stability. This extended shelf life reduces the number of shipments and associated costs while providing consistent quality control performance throughout the year.
