Instructions
See Semen Collection Specimen Preparation and Packaging Instructions included with the kit
1. Prior to use, allow dilution medium to warm to room temperature for 45 to 60 minutes.
2. Allow semen to liquefy at room temperature for up to 30 minutes.
3. Use sterile volumetric pipet or tube for volume measurement.
4. Pour liquefied semen into 50-mL dilution medium container within 60 minutes of semen collection time, cap tightly, but do not overtighten, and gently mix. Note: Proper temperature maintenance of specimen throughout processing and shipping is critical. All materials the specimen is exposed to should be at room temperature (20–28 degrees C).
SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS: Specimen must arrive within 24 hours of collection. Send specimen Monday through Thursday only and not the day before a holiday. If holiday falls on a Saturday, holiday will be observed on the preceding Friday. Sunday holidays are observed on the following Monday. Specimen should be collected and packaged as close to shipping time as possible. Laboratory does not perform testing on weekends.
