Our sperm bank

Did you know that in 1977, at the Cefer Reproduction Institute, we inaugurated the first sperm bank in Spain?

Cefer’s anonymous donor sperm bank, founded by Dr. Simón Marina, has helped give birth to more than 30,000 children.

This service is designed to help a woman or couple to have children, although it is also used by men who want to keep their semen for future use

Advantages you will get from having our own sperm bank

Sperm bank donor selection

The selection method begins with advertisements in universities aimed at students between the ages of 18 and 29. They give their consent in writing, and go through strict tests and clinical examinations.

From his medical history, to andrological exploration, seminogram and semen culture, AIDS serology, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, cytomegalovirus and chlamydia, to blood group and Rh factor. In addition to ruling out chromosomal alterations in blood and semen by means of karyotype and FISH, and genetic alterations such as cystic fibrosis and thalassemia.

Semen Genetic

Genetic: we study the donor for the 18 most frequent and high-impact genetic diseases. It represents an important advance in order to prevent a sick baby. It is not a compatibility test, we do not compare it with your DNA. You don’t have to show. only the donor is studied.

Semen Compatibility, the ideal donor

The new genetic tests are a revolution in reproductive medicine since they allow the study of a large number of diseases at the same cost as until recently for just one. Compatibility offers you the maximum prevention possible today. By simply giving a small blood sample, they allow us to know which genes can transmit disease (even without a family history) for the more than 300 frequent and high-impact genetic diseases studied, and thus prevent, affectionate baby, looking for your ideal donor, with a genetic profile compatible with you, because we want a healthy family, prevention is better.

Advantages of the genetic test: Many more diseases studied at a much lower cost than the traditional equivalent. With the genetic test, the cost per disease studied does not exceed €3. It provides more information than current diagnostic methods. An example: the traditional study of Cystic Fibrosis (valued at €330) studies 34 mutations of the causative gene; with the compatibility test we studied 140 mutations (+400%). Among the diseases studied are those with the greatest impact such as Cystic Fibrosis, Fragile X Syndrome, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Sickle Cell Anemia, Alpha and Beta Thalassemia, and Tay-Sachs Disease. In this line, at the Cefer Reproduction Institute we will continue to incorporate the latest innovations to transfer these improvements to our patients. At Cefer, we advance for you. For a healthy family.

Premium Semen, compatible with Genetic and Compatibility Semen

Given the great demand for semen from donors with proven fertility, that is, pregnancy, we began to offer Premium Semen. In addition to all the guarantees of the study and donor selection, you can choose to be a donor who has already demonstrated fertility with a pregnancy. This group is given a questionnaire on tastes and hobbies that is shared with you.

Did you know that you can reserve semen from the same donor for a second baby?

You can make a pre-reservation if you are already clear that you will look for another baby and you want it to be with the same donor’s semen.

Once you know that you are pregnant -before even announcing it to everyone- confirm that you want to finish making the reservation. Then we can guarantee a second pregnancy with the same donor’s semen.

Find your ideal donor

If you want your donor to look like you and your partner, we now have Fotomatch facial recognition technology to objectively select the best donor for you. The CEFER Institute is the first center in Spain to apply this technology.
