The sperm capacitation test is a test carried out on semen to evaluate the fertilisation capacity of the spermatozoa in the semen sample.
In order to carry out this analysis it is important that the patient maintains a period of abstinence of 3-5 days and collects a semen sample by masturbation.
Depending on the results obtained from the sperm capacitation test, the most recommended assisted reproduction technique will be chosen in each case.
