DFI Test (SCSA®)
Advanced DFI Test Using SCSA® Technique for Male Fertility Assessment
About SCSA® DFI Test
The SCSA® Test or Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay, is an advanced test for male infertility. Unlike regular semen analysis that only looks at sperm count, movement and shape, the SCSA® Test checks the DNA quality inside the sperm. This helps in understanding male infertility better and planning treatment. The test mainly measures two things: %DFI (DNA Fragmentation Index), which shows how much sperm DNA is damaged and %HDS (High DNA Stainability), which shows sperm with abnormal DNA packaging that could affect fertilization.

Read MoreHow the SCSA® Test works?
The SCSA® Test is the most thorough among the sperm DNA fragmentation tests. It’s unique because it measures both the level of DNA fragmentation and the structure of chromatin (DNA + Protein). This test is done with a laser-based device called a Flow Cytometer. We analyze the sample twice to make sure the results are consistent and accurate, using special software to ensure the reports are reliable.
