Seminal Fluid Analysis

:Normal range

Volume                            : 2-5 mL–

Appearance                    : white to gray, opalescent, viscid, opaque–

Clotting and liquefaction: complete in 20-30 minutes, rarely over 60 minutes–

PH                                   : 7.2-8.0–

Sperm count                   : ³20 million /mL–

Total sperm count          : > 40 million / ejaculate–

Motility                           : at least 50% motile–

-Morphology : about 70% normal oval-headed forms, <15% normal forms is usually associated with decreased in vitro fertilization rate

Leukocytes (large neutrophils): < 1 million/mL–

Comment: Infertility studies post vasectomy studies; diagnose azoospermia, oligospermia

Sample: seminal fluid
