Quick Test for Male Fertility

SP-10 Rapid Test: Qualitative Detection of Sperm Concentration

The SP-10 Rapid Test for male fertility is a simple and accurate method for the qualitative detection of the acrosomal protein SP-10 in sperm. It assesses the sperm concentration in seminal fluid to determine whether it is above or below 15 million/mL, which is a key indicator of male fertility. This test is ideal for home use and provides rapid results to aid in diagnosis and reproductive planning.

Key Features of the Test

✔Accuracy: Detects the SP-10 protein with high reliability.

✔Ease of Use: Suitable for home use without the need for laboratory equipment.

✔Convenience: Fast results in just 5 minutes.

✔Early Diagnosis: An auxiliary tool for assessing male fertility.

How Does the Test Work?

What Is the SP-10 Protein?

SP-10 is an acrosomal protein found in sperm. It is a key marker for assessing sperm concentration in semen. Levels below 15 million/mL may indicate reduced fertility.

Mechanism of Action

• The test uses an immunochromatographic method to detect SP-10.
• If sufficient SP-10 is present, the test displays a positive result through the color development of the marker in the test zone.

How to Use?

1️⃣Prepare the test: Make sure the test is at room temperature.

2️⃣Collect semen: Use the provided container to collect the sample.

3️⃣Incubate the sample: Let the semen stand for 60 minutes at room temperature to allow it to fully liquefy.

4️⃣Apply the sample:

• Add 0.1 mL of semen to the tube containing the dilution solution.
• Shake the tube for 10–20 seconds.
• Dispense 3–5 drops of the diluted sample into the sample well of the test cassette.

5️⃣Wait: Leave the test on a horizontal surface for 5 minutes.

6️⃣Interpret the result: Compare the markers in zones C and T.

Interpreting the Results:

✅ Positive: Two colored lines—one in zone C and one in zone T. This indicates a concentration above 15 million/mL.

❌ Negative: Only one colored line in Zone C. This indicates a concentration below 15 million/mL.

⚠ Invalid: No line in Zone C—repeat the test with a new device.

Useful Additional Information

Why does the semen sample need to stand for 60 minutes before testing?

Semen is viscous and must liquefy completely for accurate testing. Liquefaction is accelerated by the light brown powder in the container.

What should I do if I get an abnormal result?

If the result shows a low sperm concentration, consult a doctor for further testing.

Can false results occur?

Failure to follow the correct testing procedure may lead to inaccurate test results. The most common testing errors are:

• incorrect sample collection;
• failure to follow the test’s time guidelines;
• failure to observe the recommended abstinence period.

What factors affect the quality of seminal fluid?

Factors such as volume, viscosity, pH, and sperm motility play a key role. A low sperm concentration may be a sign of reduced fertility.

Helpful Tips

• Store the test properly: Use the test at room temperature and avoid direct sunlight.
• Follow the instructions: Strict adherence to the procedure ensures accurate results.
