About Examen

Pioneering Male Fertility Diagnostics

Our core commitment is to help people become parents by providing accurate, reliable, and advanced diagnostic tests to support their fertility journey.

Examen is a world leader in male fertility testing, specialising in measuring Sperm DNA Fragmentation (SDF) damage to provide crucial insights into the likelihood of conception, miscarriage, and the success of fertility treatments.

Our History & Expertise

Examen’s authority is built on over 25 years of pioneering research in male reproductive health.

Examen is at the frontier of male reproductive health, transforming how male infertility is understood, tested, and managed. A globally recognised expert in male fertility, Examen continues to build on its legacy under the leadership of Professor Tara Moore, CEO and Laboratory Director – a scientist who brings exceptional experience in both industrial and academic research, and a vision for transforming diagnostics and treatments in reproductive medicine.

Focused on Research & Innovation

At Examen, we partner with global research institutions and leading academic bodies to continuously advance the understanding of the male factor in infertility. Our commitment is to drive the development of new SDF biomarkers and protocols that transform reproductive medicine worldwide.

Under Prof. Moore’s direction, Examen is expanding R&D, developing new biomarkers and protocols, not only to refine diagnostic accuracy but to inform treatment decisions and therapeutic pathways. Her industrial and commercial background ensures that innovations move quickly from the lab bench to patient care.

Our Tests

Our range of SDF tests is powered by Examen’s proprietary SpermComet® technology.

Our flagship tests, Exact and Extend, are available from all our hubs and partner clinics. We also offer home sample kits, and Semen Analysis at our Belfast Hub.

While our reach is local (UK & Ireland), our scientific and diagnostic influence is global. Examen diagnostics are used by many private fertility clinics across the UK & Ireland, and increasingly beyond.
