Get certification and
licensure for andro-test

Why shall I be interested in performing andro-test?

andro-test is the test of Men’s Health. It is the men’s test corresponding to the well known Pap-test that every woman is taught to have once a year.

The new test for Men’s Health

Why do I need certification and licensure?

andro-test is a laboratory test protected worldwide by intellectual property rights (patent). This means that one needs to get licensure from its inventor, Georgios Voulgaridis, in order to perform andro-test. This licensure is granted provided that the legal entity is certified to offer this service and provided that the person with a degree in Biological Sciences that performs it is accredited for this purpose.

Why is andro-test protected by intellectual property rights?

It is important to safeguard the correct implementation of this test. Studies all over the World proved that regardless the existence of the WHO’s manual for the examination and process of the human semen and regardless the audits from the International Standardization Organization (ISO) very few laboratories conform with the recommendations of the WHO’s manual. As a result, the semen analysis is usually unreliable, leads to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatments, consequently endangering Global Health.

Moreover, andro-test is a semen analysis designed to check the overall health of the male genital tract, not just the fertilizing ability of semen. In order to distinguish this test from other analyses of semen performed for other purposes, it had to be given a distinct name. However, its name had to be able to communicate the purpose for which this test is performed. Thus, the name of this test has been registered and protected by copyright, too.

How can a legal entity get certification and licensure?

A legal entity can get certification for performing andro-test only from the Association of Spermatology, provided this legal entity complies with SPERMLAB’s Criteria.

How can a person with a degree in Biological Sciences get accreditation?

A person with a degree in Biological Sciences can get accreditation for performing andro-test only from the Association of Spermatology, provided this person complies with SPERMLAB’s Criteria.

Open your own SPERMLAB

Who can?

Anyone can open a SPERMLAB laboratory, provided that the scientific director has a degree in Biological Sciences and special training in Spermatology.

There are very few Spermatology laboratories in the World

Why shall I open a Spermatology laboratory?

Although with a significant delay compared to women, men finally realized that the annual andrological checkup is much more important for them. Every man can check his health through andro-test, which however is performed only by certified Spermatology laboratories. Today, there are very few of them over the World, but the need for more Spermatology laboratories is urgent and significant.

Our aim is to help by every means young people with a degree in Biological Sciences to open a Spermatology laboratory of their own, since there is a need for such laboratories and for specialized biologists to work in them.

What do I need?

The most important thing is to get special training in Spermatology. SPERMLAB provides such training. Likely to any enterprise, you also need a start-up capital for the equipment and the operating expenses during the first months, until the enterprise becomes profitable. SPERMLAB will also help you in this by providing you information about the business environment, consultation about how to rapidly increase you enterprise and tools for better organizing its management.

Why a SPERMLAB laboratory?

One of the most important difficulties a new enterprise has to overcome at the beginning is to prove its value, so that people trust it. In your case, the examinees and the doctors you will collaborate with. SPERMLAB is the laboratory that provided the role of the biologist, defined what a Spermatology laboratory is about, determined the SPERMLAB’s Criteria, described and disseminated the importance of the Annual Andrological Checkup since adolescence, improved the relationship between a man and his urologist, invented andro-test, constituted and funded the International Foundation of Spermatology and the Associations of Spermatology worldwide. There are though so many ways that SPERMLAB can help you start your business dynamically and stay in first place, with it.

Under which conditions?

Every SPERMLAB laboratory shall comply with the principals and regulations of the Association of Spermatology:

  • Analysis and processing of semen is performed only by people with a degree in Biological Sciences.
  • The laboratory shall comply with the SPERMLAB’s Criteria.
