Anti-sperm Antibodies IgG Test Kit (MAR Assay)

Immunological Infertility Screening: Mixed Antiglobulin Reaction (MAR) Assay – IgG

Breaking the Immune Barrier:

In some patients, the body's immune system treats sperm as foreign invaders. Anti-sperm Antibodies (ASA) coat the sperm surface, hindering progressive motility and blocking the sperm-oocyte interaction. Our MAR Assay (available for IgA and IgG) is the "Gold Standard" for diagnosing immunological infertility.

Key Advantages:

Class-Specific Detection: Separate IgA and IgG kits allow for a detailed immunological profile. IgG is the primary screen, while IgA offers high clinical correlation with reduced fertilization rates.

Direct & Efficient: Optimized for testing directly on raw semen, eliminating the need for sperm washing which can lead to false-negative results.

User-Centric Design: Engineered for fast results and a simplified workflow that easily integrates into routine laboratory settings. Our MAR Assay follows the Direct MAR Test protocol of the WHO Laboratory Manual (6th Edition).
