Andrology is a specialised laboratory that performed assays to assess male reproductive health.


Physicians request andrology testing to determine a male patient’s fertility status, usually when he and his partner have been struggling to conceive.


Andrology testing is also requested post-sterilisation (vasectomy) to verify that the procedure was successful.

Semen evaluation:

  • Spermiogram (semen analysis)
  • Sperm antibody testing (Friberg test)
  • Testis biopsy examination
  • Alpha glucosidase
  • Post-vasectomy testing


Cryopreservation:

  • Semen freezing
  • Testis biopsy freezing


Semen preparation:

  • Semen wash for artificial insemination
  • Provision and processing of donor sperm

Our laboratory is SANAS accredited and we undertake strict quality control measures to ensure that results are accurate.


Our pathologists regularly consult with physicians and fertility experts to provide reliable diagnostic advice regarding patients’ andrology test results.
