    At Fairfax Cryobank we have a specimen quality standard that all vials (ICI and IUI) will have a minimum of 10 million Total motile cells (TMC) per vial. We chose to put 10 million TMC per vial after careful consideration of data from laboratories at the Genetics & IVF Institute, our parent company founded in 1983, and an extensive literature review.

    Prep Type and Total Motile Cells/milliliter (TMC)
    IUI - 20 million/mL (10 million/vial)
    ICI - 20 million/mL (10 million/vial)
    IVF - 5 million TMC/vial

    Fairfax Cryobank only sells vials that are considered at or above this quality standard. Your physician should be able to confirm the quality of your vials at the time of the insemination. You can find more information about Fairfax Cryobank's Quality Standards here: http://www.fairfaxcryobank.com/qualitystandard.shtml
