Sperm Processor SFT - Semen Ph

SEMEN Ph

• pH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, determines alkalinity (pH > 7.0) & acidity (pH <7.0) of a given solution.

Semen pH ranges:

8.4 - 7.4

Semen pH Assessment

Seminal plasma is the combination of body fluids secreted by seminal vesicle (contributing 2/3rd by volume, pH 8.2 – 8.6) and prostate glands (1/3rd by volume, pH 6.8 – 7.2).

Assessment of Semen pH

• Semen pH more than 8.0 is indicative of acute Prostatitis, Vaculities or Bilateral Epididymitis. Whereas, pH value generally less than 7.2 is indicative of chronic prostatitis.

• Lower semen volume, with pH value less than 7.2 is often due to deficiency in seminal vesicle fluid.

• Lower semen volume, with higher pH value above 9.0 is often due to pathology of the prostate gland.

• Incubation of semen for a longer time results into higher pH (above 8.6) and is caused by breakdown of amines & amides.

• Initial fraction loss during semen collection may also result into higher pH value above 8.6.

Safety & Environmental Precautions

• Store the kit in appropriate conditions as per the instructions given on the package.

• Do not use the kits beyond expiry date given on the package.

• All the reagents are potentially hazardous and it is strictly advised to follow the MSDS instructions.

• All the patients' samples should be treated as potentially infectious. Laboratory personnel are advised to wear protective gloves, face masks, laboratory coats etc while performing the tests.

• Dispose off all the waste generated, during and after the tests, in an appropriate manner as per the governing compliance laws of the land.
