Origin of Sperm Samples for Sperm DNA Fragmentation.

The sperm samples used in the Sperm DNA Fragmentation EQA Scheme were derived from Queensland Fertility Centre. They were the first clinic in Australia to develop this assay and invited me to create an EQA scheme to provide some confidence in their methodology. In this reciprocal arrangement, QAPonline provides the EQA system, QFG provides the samples in lieu of payment. There is no formal arrangement where QFG is an approved sub-contractor. They have a vested interest in sample integrity and range.
