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. Product packaging may differ from image.96 Tests / Kit
- Easy two-step protocol gives results in approximately 40 minutes
- Colorimetric result with visible contrast that can be quantified
- Each kit includes all five reagents required for test completion
- 18-month shelf life from date of manufacture

Alpha‑Tec’s ImmunoSpheres® are a Immunobead Test (IBT) used to detect the presence or absence of antisperm antibodies (ASA) when screening for immune-mediated male infertility or unexplained infertility in couples. Four ImmunoSphere® reagent kits are available to detect distinct anti-sperm immunoglobulin isotypes: Anti IgA, Anti IgG, Anti IgM and Anti Ig (Heavy and Light chain). Both direct and indirect testing methods can be used with ImmunoSpheres®. Direct testing requires spermatozoa to be washed to remove any free immunoglobulins in the seminal plasma. Indirect testing can be used for reproductive fluids such as seminal plasma, follicular fluid, cervical mucus, as well as serum. A positive test result is defined as ≥ 20% of motile spermatozoa binding to the ImmunoSpheres®; a clinically significant test result produces ≥ 50% of motile spermatozoa being bound. Product packaging may differ from image.100 tests / kit
- A reliable, specific test for the detection of sperm-bound antibodies and sperm antibodies in reproductive fluids and serum

Alpha‑Tec Serum Control Kits are used to establish controls during antisperm antibody assays. The Serum Control Kit’s positive serum contains IgA and IgG antibodies, whereas its negative serum contains no detectable antibodies against sperm. Using a positive control during direct sperm antibody testing can overcome the impracticality of using antibody-positive sperm specimens as positive controls. Using a negative control during testing is also recommended. Both Sperm Antibody Positive A/G Serum and Sperm Antibody Negative Serum have been tested and found to be negative for HIV antibodies and hepatitis B surface antigens, however negative results do not guarantee absence of these viruses. Product packaging may differ from image.1 kit (1 ml of each serum)
- Suitable as a control for both direct and indirect sperm antibody assays
- Ready to use
- Serum is stable, heat inactivated, and undiluted
- 18-month shelf life
