Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Vials
The sperm in this vial type is called a "washed" specimen.
Sperm in this vial has undergone a premium density gradient separation wash, used to purify and isolate the healthiest sperm cells to increase your odds of obtaining a pregnancy..
A common question from our clients is, “how many tries are in a vial of donor sperm?” The short answer is that one vial equals one try.
When a donor produces a semen sample, our staff completes a semen evaluation to determine the volume, count, motility, and other parameters..
It often takes several cycles of insemination before the procedure results in pregnancy.
Most people choose to order 2-3 vials per order, others order several more because they are looking ahead and planning for a sibling using the same sperm donor.Nov 22, 2020.
You'll need at least one vial per insemination, so you'll want to have enough in storage to cover multiple attempts.
Plus, it's not uncommon for a donor's inventory to temporarily sell out, so it's better to purchase more up front when they are available..
Sperm banks usually have very high sperm donor requirements, which can also influence fluctuating price tags.
ID disclosed donor sperm can be more expensive, with prices sometimes climbing into the $1300 range per vial.
These vials are usually organized by procedure and separated for IUI, IVF, and ICSI..
Fees for donor vials are based on a variety of factors, including preparation type (based on medical procedure type such as Intrauterine Insemination or IVF), expanded panel testing, and availability.
The availability of vials and fees are listed on each donor page.
Expect fees to be between $1000 and $1800..
You can only purchase them in 0.5ml units.
Therefore, if you purchase two vials, this is equivalent to 25 million motile sperm cells per 1-milliliter vial..
Truth: On average it takes up to 4 inseminations to achieve pregnancy, similar to the success rates of traditional fertilization.
Depending on the procedure and the prep type of the donor sperm sample, this can be 4-8 vials.
Myths: Sperm Banks are unregulated and do whatever they want to do to make money..
Vials – Assisted Reproductive Technologies.
A.R.T. vials contain fewer total motile cells than regular vials, but they are perfectly suited for certain types of inseminations, or by Physician approval..
IUI A.R.T. \& ICI A.R.T.
A.R.T., or artificial reproductive technology, vials are lower quantity units.
At Cryobank America, we guarantee 3-12 Million per half a milliliter (and 6-24 M/ml) for IUI ART and 6-24 M/ml for ICI ART units.
These vials cost less since they contain fewer progressively motile sperm cells.Feb 21, 2018.
What are A.R.T. vials? They are vials that contain fewer motile sperm than our premium vials..
IUI/ICI ART – Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) vials have a slightly lower total motile cell count (TMC) than our IUI and ICI vials.
The specimen quality standard for ART vials is \x26gt; 6 million TMC per vials.
ART vials can be used individually or combined for insemination.Jul 15, 2021.
ART vial use:
If used in an IUI procedure
The IUI ART does not require further preparation after being thawed. Both ICI ART and IUI ART vials can be used in IVF with/without ICSI
ICI
And IUI procedures but may require post-thaw processing. Going forwardWe anticipate that the ART vial will be more popular than the IVF vial.
If you have been curious about using sperm donors to help start your family, you may have looked at the prices of vials and noticed several different types available. What is an IUI, ICI, A.R.T., and IVF vial? This blog will let you know the differences between each one so that it can guide you in figuring out which vial is best for you.
Although the IVF vial can be
And is used in ICI and IUI procedures
Typically 2 vials are purchased to get a “full” complement of total motile cells
As the IVF vials contain only 5 million TMC per vial. ART vials:
The name ART better describes the potential uses of our ART prep vial. ART means Assisted Reproductive Technology.
ICI (intracervical insemination) vials are considered "unwashed" since they have not undergone gradient separation steps, which remove the non-motile sperm cells, round cells, and other junk found in the ejaculate. At Cryobank America, we guarantee 17 Million cells per milliliter (17M/ml). Each vial sold comprises one milliliter (1ml). ICI units ar.
A.R.T., or artificial reproductive technology, vials are lower quantity units. At Cryobank America, we guarantee 3-12 Million per half a milliliter (and 6-24 M/ml) for IUI ART and 6-24 M/ml for ICI ART units. These vials cost less since they contain fewer progressively motile sperm cells.
IUI (Intrauterine insemination) vials undergo a "washing" procedure utilizing gradient separation methods, resulting in only the sperm and stabilizing media, making it safe for the uterus. At Cryobank America, we guarantee 25 Million cells per milliliter (25M/ml). Each IUI vial is sold in a half-milliliter (0.5ml) unit, giving you 12.5M/ml of motil.
First
Fairfax Cryobank ART vials come in two preparation types:ICI ART (unwashed) and IUI ART (pre-washed). Both the IUI ART
And ICI ART
Can be used for all insemination types; howeverPost-thaw prep may be required. IVF procedures may require additional post-thaw preparation of specimens as well.
We do not recommend the use of ART vials for IUI or IVF. ART vials contain fewer motile sperm per vial, so a single vial may not be adequate for an IUI or IVF procedure. ICI (Intracervical Insemination) vials contain seminal fluid along with the sperm cells. Without further processing, ICI vials are intended for insemination into the cervix only.
IUI vials do not contain seminal fluid, so the vial can be thawed and used immediately without any additional processing. While IUI vials are washed so they can be used for insemination into the uterus, they can also be used for home inseminations into the cervix. ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) vials are intended for use in ICSI procedures.

Facility that purchases, stores and sells human semen
or cryobank is a facility or enterprise which purchases
Stores and sells human semen.The semen is produced and sold by men who are known as sperm donors.The sperm is purchased by or for other persons for the purpose of achieving a pregnancy or pregnancies other than by a sexual partner.Sperm sold by a sperm donor is known as donor sperm.
