Seminal fluid collection is the process of obtaining a semen sample, typically for fertility analysis, medical diagnosis, or reproductive purposes.
The patient should ring the collection centre to arrange a suitable time to bring in the specimen. Samples may be accepted at any Collection centre.
Because the specimen should be delivered to a laboratory for prompt analysis, the patient should be given a time to bring in the sample, so that the first available courier can deliver this to the laboratory.
It is recommended that the post-vasectomy sample is collected when there have been at least 10 ejaculations in the previous 10 weeks.
The patient should ring the collection centre to arrange a suitable time and place to bring in the specimen.
NOTE: No more than 30 minutes should elapse between collection and delivery to the collection centre as timely examination by the laboratory is required to prevent potential deterioration of the specimen.
