Welcome
SCSA® Diagnostics, Inc.’s team of scientists invented and patented the Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay (SCSA®) test and have over 30 years of experience studying how disease, environmental toxicants and age affect chromatin (DNA and protein) structure and function. In the past 25 years, this work has focused almost exclusively on the relationship between sperm DNA fragmentation, male factor sub/infertility and failed pregnancies as well as the etiology of DNA damage. Sperm DNA fragmentation continues to be an exciting area of research to both clinicians and infertility patients.
Physicians, laboratory directors and patients will immediately recognize the value of the SCSA® test because it is a highly robust, statistical measure of male DNA-factor infertility. The SCSA® test assesses DNA fragmentation using established methods that are supported by 25 years of research resulting in –100 publications in peer reviewed journals. These and ongoing studies indicate that sperm with elevated DNA fragmentation, as measured by the SCSA® test, have a lower probability of supporting a successful pregnancy.
