What is the Sperm DNA Fragmentation Test?
The SCSA® Test evaluates sperm DNA fragmentation, essential for fertility success. It surpasses traditional semen analysis by assessing genetic quality, aiding male infertility diagnosis. Measuring %DFI and %HDS, it guides treatment strategies for enhanced reproductive outcomes.
Factors Influencing Sperm DNA Fragmentation:
- Age: Advanced paternal age increases DNA fragmentation
- Lifestyle: Smoking, alcohol, and drugs impact sperm quality.
- Environmental Exposures: Toxins and radiation damage sperm cells.
- Medical Conditions: Varicocele and infections disrupt sperm DNA integrity.
- Oxidative Stress: Pollution and poor diet elevate DNA damage.
- Heat Exposure: High temperatures affect sperm DNA, impairing fertility.
Why choose the best SDF Test - the SCSA®️ Test?
The Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay (SCSA) offers a sophisticated, quantitative approach to assessing sperm DNA integrity, providing valuable insights that are critical for effective fertility treatment and management.
Precision Diagnostics with Clinical Impact:
The SCSA test precisely measures sperm DNA health, guiding effective fertility treatment choices like ICSI for high DNA fragmentation cases.
Enhanced Treatment Outcomes:
Insights from the SCSA test enable clinicians to customise treatment plans, improving conception success rates and lowering miscarriage risks. HDS values help decide on use of ejaculate or testicular samples for ART treatments.
Informed Decision Making and Counselling:
The SCSA test's ability to predict fertility outcomes allows for personalised preconception advice and strategic family planning.
Risk Assessment for Miscarriage:
High DNA fragmentation levels, indicated by the SCSA test, are linked to increased miscarriage rates, informing risk management strategies.

- Couples with unexplained infertility
- Couples with a history of recurrent miscarriages
- Couples planning IUI, IVF, or ICSI
- Couples with previous ART failures
- Male partners aged over 40 & taking specific medications
- Male partners exposed to toxic agents, UTI history or varicocele consideration
SCSA® Test FAQ's
The SCSA®, or Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay, is a test for male infertility. It quickly and accurately identifies men who are less likely to achieve a full term pregnancy naturally or with ART. It does this by determining the percentage of sperm with high levels of DNA fragmentation, i.e. the DNA Fragmentation Index (% DFI) as well as the percent of sperm with abnormal proteins (%HDS) and morphology that may inhibit fertilization.
The test is based on well-established research and methods. Developed over the course of more than 20 years, the SCSA® has been the subject of more than 125 articles published in peer-reviewed journals and periodicals.
Once we receive the samples for analysis, we assure that the patient and physician will have the results within 2-7 days.
No, you could contact Andrology Center directly to order the test.
Contact Andrology Center to find out about sending samples to the test center.

No, not at all, like other routine semen analysis tests, a semen sample is collected from the patient and then processed and the results generated as a report for the patient and physician.
No, this SCSA® test is a diagnostic test to determine the level of sperm DNA fragmentation, which is a major cause of failed pregnancies.
