Superior Customer Service – Seattle Sperm Bank (SSB) offers a personalized customer service experience including complimentary Client Services Consultations to assist with sperm donor selection, free Photo-Matching, and genetic consultations.
Advanced Genetic Testing – SSB is the first sperm bank to test ALL NEW DONORS (as of September 2015) with an Extended Genetic Panel Carrier Screen. If you know that you, or your egg source, are a carrier for conditions not covered by our testing, we do our best to get your donor tested for that condition at a reasonable price. Our website has an advanced search tool where carrier screening results can be used for filtering our available donors. Read more HERE.
Price – SSB can save patients up to 40% per shipment. As compared to our competitors, our per-vial cost, shipping and extended donor information are all more affordable. See more details HERE.
Donor Counseling –Per the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) mental health guidelines, all incoming sperm donors undergo an evaluation by a Licensed Psychologist. This psychosocial assessment is a crucial part of our donor screening process and ensures that donors are mentally sound to be in our program and fully understand the emotional and psychological implications of donation, including the potential for future contact from donor-conceived children.
Accreditations – SSB is accredited and/or licensed by the following: FDA, CLIA, New York State, State of Maryland, State of California. Please visit our Licenses and Accreditations page HERE.
SSB Connects – This is Seattle Sperm Bank’s Free Donor Sibling Registry. Our registry has been setup to help facilitate mutually desired contact between families who share a common donor. Read more HERE
Vial Quality – The SSB lab staff prides themselves on creating the best quality vials. We receive quality complaint forms on less than 0.1% of vials distributed. Read more HERE.
Criminal Background Checks and Donor Records Verification –SSB also conducts criminal background checks and verifies education transcripts for all sperm donors. These reports have been part of our screening process since our lab opened in 2008. This practice helps us screen out potential donors with a history of criminal activity that may indicate antisocial or pathological behavior. Criminal activity can also be a sign of mental illness or substance abuse. Minor infractions, such as a speeding ticket, are thoroughly reviewed by our Medical Director, Donor Coordinator, and Counselor. If these incidents are deemed minor and situational—particularly if they occurred during the applicant’s youth—we may still consider the potential donor for our program.
Seattle Sperm Bank Donor SURE-CHECK – SSB’s proprietary SURE-CHECK system is a 5-Step, double-verified, donor identity system. This guarantees the chain of custody for sperm donor identification from beginning to end. Read more HERE.
Family Limit – We limit SSB donors to creating 25 families in the U.S., and we adhere to country-specific requirements for donors who get distributed internationally.
