At Cryos India we have basically Anonymous donors. But we give choice to the donor if they would like to be Non-anonymous donors. Anonymous donors renounce all paternal rights and anonymity is guaranteed. Non-anonymous donor’s identities are disclosed to donor children only upon request when they turn 18 years of age.

During this process and at intervals for as long as we offer a donor, he is tested for STD's like Chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea and CMV. We test for antibodies against HIV-I & II, HTLV-I & II, Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis C (anti-HCV), Blood group (ABO) and karyotyping (46, XY) are also noted.

Donor may be screened and tested for cystic fibrosis. It is not possible to completely eliminate the risk of cystic fibrosis, but the tests performed substantially reduce the likelihood of the donor being a carrier of cystic fibrosis.

Upon client request, we can also carry out tests for ethnic-specific diseases like sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and Tay Sachs.

Complete Clinical Examination is performed by our doctors including current and past Medical history, Family Medical History, Physical Examination and Mental Status. The data are entered in our registry of donors.

As we test, we also build extended profiles about donor characteristics like eye color, hair color, height, weight, build, race, subtleties of appearance (complexion, for example), psychological profile, age, education, occupation and blood group. Every donor is examined and given final approval by our senior medical staff and management.

Semen from a donor remains frozen in quarantine for at least six months. Once every three months after that, and for as long as we offer a donor, he is retested for some of the above mentioned Blood Tests.

Cryos International meets the requirements of dozens of Governments, Regulators and Health Organizations worldwide and Cryos International- India would also follow the same including the guide-lines laid down by ICMR.
