Selection
We are the most demanding
A personal and family medical history is carried out, going back to the grandparents, in order to assess them and rule out hereditary diseases, according to Law 9/2014 and RD 412/1996.
An assessment of the psychological history of the donor and his environment is incorporated following the recommendations of the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF) .
As the legislation does not include the exclusion criteria, we proceeded in 2007, with the help of different experts in each subject and in the environment of the Ceifer Training Classroom, to the publication of the book “REFLECTIONS ON THE ASSESSMENT OF GAMETE DONORS AND EMBRYOS «. This study helps us to carry out the donor selection process.

Chromosome Study – Karyotype
Only donor candidates with a normal karyotype are accepted. Candidates for donors with polymorphic variants of the karyotype are also ruled out, since they present worse results in assisted human reproduction.
Study of Carriers of Monogenic Recessive Diseases.
At CEIFER Biobanco we use the latest techniques in genetic sequencing that allow us to carry out in-depth studies on genetic problems and, in this way, rule out those donors carrying pathogenic mutations of the main recessive monogenic diseases (both autosomal recessive and linked to the X chromosome) . For this we use NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. Donors to our OVOPACK program are free of the following pathogenic mutations:

To reduce the risk of offspring affected by these and other diseases, it is recommended to perform genetic matching
Genetic matching makes it possible to compare the donor’s genetic information with that of the recipient’s male partner, in order to avoid the transmission of genetic diseases. For this, the study of 307 genes related to monogenic recessive diseases is carried out. This analysis is carried out using the most modern massive sequencing techniques (Next Generation Sequencing – NGS).
The 307 genes studied include variants with a particularly high incidence in the Mediterranean area.
The results of our donors are compared with the similar genetic study carried out in the male of the recipient couple, selecting a suitable donor, in such a way that the donor and the male do not share mutations in the same genes.
(The genetic matching protocol does not eliminate the risk in the offspring of suffering or being a carrier of recessive diseases, even if it is one of the diseases studied. Its objective is to significantly reduce risks, < em> depending on this decrease of the disease studied).

Since 2005 CEIFER Biobanco has had a donor DNA bank. In this way, in case of the appearance of genetic disease in the offspring, we can carry out the pertinent studies.
CEIFER Biobanco thus has a global vision and the most advanced technology to:
- Study genetic diseases by cases of live births affected in the offspring.
- Incorporate the study of new genetic diseases in donor screening.
Our donors are subjected to a rigorous selection protocol, which is in continuous renewal and study, incorporating new tests, improving existing ones and always with the aim of offering the maximum possibilities of the gestation of a HEALTHY SON.
- 95% are university students.
- 99% are of Spanish nationality.
- Age between 18 – 35 years old.
- Average age of 25 years.

Since 2005 CEIFER Biobanco has had a donor DNA bank. In this way, in case of the appearance of genetic disease in the offspring, we can carry out the pertinent studies.
CEIFER Biobanco thus has a global vision and the most advanced technology to:
- Study genetic diseases by cases of live births affected in the offspring.
- Incorporate the study of new genetic diseases in donor screening.

We only use CE marked media
We use Kitazato vitrification media and CryoTop® supports certified by the competent authority (CE marking) for use in humans.
The supports are identified with a UNIQUE CODE that incorporates serial code and the donor’s code. This allows us the traceability of each support.
