Donor Selection with Care and Expertise

Choosing a donor is a deeply personal decision — one that requires the right guidance, professionalism, and above all, empathy. This choice will shape not only the lives of those receiving the donor sample, but also the life of the child to come.
At Spermia, we approach donor selection with a personal touch. Every candidate begins the process by sharing their preferences — not only regarding the donor’s physical characteristics, but also the personality traits and lifestyle values they would like to see reflected.
These insights help our team identify profiles that best match what each individual or couple envisions. The final selection takes place through direct communication with our Scientific Director, who provides a complete and transparent overview of each donor — including appearance, personality, and lifestyle.
At Spermia, we combine professionalism with empathy, ensuring that every choice is made with confidence, clarity, and care.

Principles governing sperm donation

In order to ensure high standards of service, sperm donation is governed by certain rules, namely:
• The use of fresh donor sperm is prohibited. For this reason, frozen samples are always used.
• The use of sperm from more than one donor during a treatment cycle is prohibited.
• The maximum number of children that may be born from the sperm of the same donor depends on the rules and regulations of each country.
• The laboratory operates with state-of-the-art equipment and highly trained scientists.

Non-ID Release and ID Release Sperm Donor

The legal status regarding ID-release sperm donors varies significantly from country to country. Some countries only allow anonymous donation, while in others it is mandatory for donors to be identified. In this case, children conceived by donors have the legal right to know the identity of their donor once they reach a certain age (usually 18) and, if the donor agrees, to contact them.
Sperm donation in Greece is anonymous. Therefore, the donor’s details are not disclosed to the recipients. Similarly, the details of the couple receiving the donor sample, as well as the child or children born by this process, are not disclosed to the donor of the genetic material. Recently, the legal framework in Greece has changed, allowing the use of ID-release donors and giving the opportunity to the recipients to decide on what suits their needs best.

Donor medical information

The detailed laboratory testing includes:
• Semen analysis (macroscopic and microscopic examination including sperm count, round cell count and differentiation, assessment of sperm motility, vitality and morphology)
• Viability testing after thawing
• Complete microbiological testing including: aerobic and anaerobic culture for common microbes, testing for Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Herpes simplex 1, Herpes simplex 2, Trichomonas vaginalis, Candida albicans, Gardnerella vaginalis, Haemophilus ducreyi, Group B Streptococcus using the PCR method
• Checking sperm DNA fragmentation using flow cytometry, with the Evenson method, which is an objective method widely used in the literature
• Blood type / Rh
• Testing for HIV (anti-HIV I/II), hepatitis B (HBsAg), hepatitis C (anti-HCV), serological testing for treponema (RPR/VDRL) and molecular testing for HIV, HBV, HCV. Testing for antibodies against T-lymphotropic viruses (HTLV-1 and 2)
• Karyotype
• Testing for thalassemia types α, β, and δβ using molecular techniques
• Screening for sickle cell anemia, using molecular techniques
• Testing for cystic fibrosis (sequencing covering ≥99% of pathological nucleotide variants and including testing for deletions and duplications in the CFTR gene)
• Screening for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in the SMN1/2 gene
• Testing for non-syndromic deafness (connexin gene, GJB2), screening for the most common pathological variant c.35delG.

Additional testing

At Spermia, we perform all the tests required by Greek law and also offer the option of testing for a very large number of additional genetic diseases. Always innovating in our field, we now also offer gene matching with both your own genetic material and that of the egg donor.
