At-home collection. Clinical-grade results. Built for physician workflows.
Physician-ready semen analysis across 20+ parameters. Mate Health reports expanded semen metrics, including four motility classifications, functional sperm concentration, and velocity, with vitality and DNA fragmentation, processed in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited laboratory.
Lab-quality semen analysis, collected at home.
Mate Health provides clinical-grade at-home semen analysis for fertility evaluation and post-vasectomy confirmation, analyzed in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited high-complexity andrology laboratory and formatted for physician review.
Comprehensive Semen Analysis
Reports 20 semen parameters, including concentration, morphology, velocity, four motility classifications, and derived functional sperm metrics.
Advanced Semen Analysis
Includes Comprehensive Semen Analysis plus DNA Fragmentation Index and vitality testing, with microscopy images for additional context on sperm quality and viability.
Post-Vasectomy Analysis
Quantitative post-vasectomy analysis with analytical sensitivity to 0.01 M/mL. Supports confident azoospermia confirmation, the AUA standard for mail-in samples, with any residual sperm quantified for physician review.
Designed around specimen integrity before analysis.
Mate Health does not rely on software algorithms to adjust for potential transport degradation of motility and morphology. The specimen is preserved during transit with controlled temperature and a proprietary semen preservative, then brought to 37°C before semen parameters are assessed.
Temperature-controlled transport
Active Cooling and a proprietary semen preservative maintain controlled transport conditions before laboratory analysis.
Expanded clinical reporting
Reports concentration, total sperm count, morphology, velocity, four motility classifications, and derived functional metrics, with DNA fragmentation and vitality available through Advanced testing.
Physician-ready results
Every test includes a laboratory report, a patient report, and MateIQ-supported patient education to help patients prepare for physician review.
No inventory required
Send patients a direct ordering link or QR code, or order through the physician portal.
Validated transport. Physician-ready analysis.
Key Validation Findings
R² across the validated parameters assessed
Passing-Bablok regression slopes, indicating minimal proportional bias after cooled transport
Validated under ambient stress conditions
Transport maintained for 34 hours
Active Cooling and proprietary semen preservative were analytically validated across 222 semen specimens by an independent CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited high-complexity andrology laboratory. Validation met or exceeded all predefined acceptance thresholds across the evaluated parameters.
Validation methodology reviewed by Nicholas Farber, MD, fellowship-trained urologist specializing in male reproductive health and male infertility.
A simple workflow for your clinic and your patients.
Send the patient an ordering link
Share a direct ordering link or QR code with the patient, or place the order through the Mate Health physician ordering portal. The kit ships directly to the patient.
Patient collects and ships
The patient collects at home and ships the sample FedEx Priority Overnight in the prepaid, temperature-controlled kit.
Laboratory analysis
The sample is analyzed in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited high-complexity andrology laboratory using WHO 6th Edition (2021) methodology.
Results delivered to your portal
The physician-ready laboratory report, patient report, and MateIQ-supported patient education. Results within 24 hours.
One place to order, track, and review results.
The Mate Health physician portal helps clinicians order tests, track kit status, and review patient results in one place.
Order tests for patients
Track patient registration and kit progress
Review laboratory reports
Access patient reports and images when available
Manage the semen analysis and post-vasectomy testing process in one workflow
Male-factor testing. Earlier evaluation.
Earlier male-factor data
At-home collection removes common barriers to semen analysis, including scheduling, collection-room discomfort, and geographic access. That helps bring semen analysis into the couple’s fertility workup earlier.
Less operational overhead
Patients can order, collect, and ship independently, or your clinic can order through the physician portal. Your clinic receives results without the burden of stocking kits or coordinating sample collection.
A clearer patient conversation
Each test includes a physician-ready laboratory report, patient report, and MateIQ-supported education, helping patients understand key findings before they review next steps with their clinician.
Built for concurrent evaluation
AUA/ASRM guidance recommends concurrent assessment of both partners during the initial infertility evaluation, and recommends that the male evaluation include one or more semen analyses. Mate Health helps make male testing easier to complete alongside the rest of the fertility workup.
Processed in a CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory.
CLIA certification and CAP accreditation are independent quality standards. Both require laboratories to demonstrate testing accuracy, qualified personnel, and ongoing oversight.
Federal certification for clinical laboratory testing.
CLIA, the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, is a federal program administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Laboratories certified under CLIA meet federal standards for test accuracy, personnel qualifications, and quality control procedures.
Required for all clinical laboratory testing in the United States.
Peer inspection beyond federal requirements.
CAP accreditation is additional accreditation beyond baseline CLIA certification. CAP’s Laboratory Accreditation Program has CMS deeming authority, and CAP states that its requirements commonly exceed CLIA standards.
Widely regarded as a leading standard in laboratory quality assurance.
Laboratory analysis performed under the direction of William Roudebush, PhD, HCLD, High-Complexity Laboratory Director with discipline expertise in andrology.

Frequently Asked Questions
What methodology and laboratory standards are used?
Mate Health reports are aligned with WHO 6th Edition methodology and reference ranges where applicable.Testing is performed in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited high-complexity andrology laboratory, and reports are formatted for physician review.
How is the specimen transported?
Mate Health uses Active Cooling and a proprietary semen preservative to support specimen stability during FedEx Priority Overnight transport.
The transport system is designed to maintain controlled cooled conditions before laboratory analysis. Mate Health's transport system was analytically validated using 222 live semen samples, with strong agreement demonstrated across evaluated semen parameters within the validated transport window.
What results are delivered to clinicians?
Clinicians receive both the physician-ready laboratory report and the patient report. The laboratory report includes semen analysis parameters, reference ranges where applicable, and additional reported values depending on the test selected.
Reports may include semen volume, sperm concentration, total sperm count, total motility, progressive motility, and motility classifications, morphology, velocity, functional sperm concentration, vitality, DNA fragmentation, and quantitative post-vasectomy results when applicable.
How do clinicians order tests and receive results?
Clinicians can share a direct ordering link or QR code with the patient, or place an order through the Mate Health physician ordering portal.
The kit ships directly to the patient. After collection and laboratory analysis, results are delivered through the secure portal, where clinicians can track kit progress and review completed reports.
How does Mate Health fit into fertility and urology workflows?
Mate Health allows patients to collect at home while still receiving laboratory-based semen analysis designed for physician review.
For fertility care, Mate Health can help bring male evaluation earlier into the couple's workup. For urology, Mate Health supports post-vasectomy testing and semen analysis without requiring in-office collection rooms, clinic inventory, or clinic-based specimen handling.
