The Cap-Score sperm test is a revolutionary, male fertility test developed by leading fertility scientists and physicians. The Cap-Score sperm test is the only male fertility test that correlates with the likelihood of achieving a pregnancy. The Cap-Score sperm test was previously only available in a doctors' office.

Unlike other male fertility tests, the Cap-Score sperm test quantifies the percentage of sperm able to "capacitate" and successfully fertilize an egg. Capacitation is the transformation sperm must undergo before it enters the egg.
