IMPORTANT Service Update
- Due to significant traffic congestion and road closures in Belfast city centre relating to the Grand Central Station (GCS) public realm works, our sample drop-off service is temporarily unavailable. We hope to restart this service by the end of November 2025, when the GCS works are completed and the roads are reopened.
- Onsite Production Required: All samples must be produced onsite using the dedicated facilities at our Belfast laboratory hub.
Book Your Examen Test
You can select a convenient date and time when book your test online.
For patients attending for a Semen Analysis OR an Exact SDF test, a referral letter is not required.
For patients attending for an Extend SDF test you must have a referral letter from a referring clinic, GP, or fertility practitioner before you book that test because we cannot accept samples for Extend testing without a referral. For Extend tests you must forward your referral letter to bookings@examenlab.com prior to your appointment OR ensure to bring it with you when you attend (we cannot perform the test without this and it is essential that your referring clinician is accurately noted on the Test Request Form).
Important Information
- Drop-off time: 30 minutes from sample production (for Semen Analysis + Exact and/or Extend tests); maximum 50 minutes from sample production for Exact and/or Extend tests (i.e. without semen analysis)
- Abstinence period: no less than 48 hours and no more than 7 days
