Alpha‑Tec’s FructoScreen Kit measures the amount of fructose in seminal plasma using a photometric method. Ejaculated spermatozoa are primarily powered by fructose produced in the seminal vesicles and found in seminal plasma. The concentration of fructose in ejaculate can provide information about the secretory function of the vas deferens, and/or the possibility of low androgen levels. FructoScreen produces a yellow-orange colour to indicate the presence of fructose, and its intensity directly correlates with increasing concentrations of fructose in seminal plasma. Both the concentration and total amount of fructose present can be calculated from this point.
