SAT Sperm Aneuploidy Test

What is SAT?

SAT is a test to study the genetic factor of male infertility.
This test evaluates the percentage of spermatozoa with chromosomal abnormalities in a sperm sample. Analysis is performed on the chromosomes most frequently associated with spontaneous miscarriages and children with chromosomal abnormalities (chromosomes 13, 18, 21,
X and Y).

Benefits

Why use SAT?

- Increases pregnancy rate.
- Decreases miscarriage risk.
- SAT helps to provide personalised genetic guidance to the couple before IVF treatment

In couples with an abnormal SAT, it is clinically advisable to perform PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies) to select chromosomally normal embryos for transfer.*
