It’s simple and takes only 30 minutes to receive results!
SwimCount measures the concentration of sperm that can swim (known as motile sperm).
Simply add the sperm sample to the device and within 30 minutes the colour indicates whether the motile sperm quantity is above or below the WHO threshold for normal. SwimCount provides 98% accuracy when comparing the results to microscopy validated against WHO GOLD standard (2010). If the test shows your motile sperm concentration is below the cut-off level for normal sperm quality, you should consult your doctor for further fertility testing.
