OverNiteMale Kits
Sperm banking, long-term freezing of human sperm, is the best option for preserving future fertility for men facing threats to their ability to father children. Sterilization, reduction in
fertility, or genetic damage can result from chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer, prostate surgery, vasectomy or high-risk occupations.
Our OverNiteMale®Kit makes it possible for patients to bank from home without traveling to our facility. Sperm samples are collected in a container supplied in the kit and shipped to our laboratory using FedEx®
The sperm are protected during shipment by a specially formulated transport buffer. The OverNiteMale® Kit was created in our laboratory in 1996 to ensure the safe delivery of your sperm to our laboratory for banking.

It is important that you contact our Andrology Coordinator
to order your OverNiteMale®Kits and start banking specimens as soon as possible. It is recommended that patients bank 2-4 samples to optimize chances of pregnancy in the future. Since 2-3 days sexual abstinence are recommended between ejaculates, the process will take approximately 1-2 weeks. This can be adjusted to accommodate patients with limited time available prior to surgery or therapies
To order your OverNiteMale® Kit or for further information, call the Andrology Coordinator
at (312) 996-7713.
