Sperm Vial Types
At Cryobank America, we provide a variety of sperm vials to meet different fertility needs.
Whether you are planning an intrauterine insemination (IUI), intracervical insemination (ICI), or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), our team can help you choose the right vial for your journey.
Sperm Vials for Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) & Intracervical Insemination (ICI)
If you’re exploring fertility options, understanding the difference between IUI and ICI is an important step. Both are artificial insemination procedures that help bring you closer to your dream of parenthood.
With IUI, sperm is carefully delivered directly to the uterus, while ICI places sperm at the cervix. Each method has its own benefits, and the right sperm vial can make a meaningful difference in your journey. We’re here to guide you through your options and help you choose the vial that fits your unique needs.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Vials
IUI vials contain a “washed” specimen, meaning the sample has been cleaned through a density gradient process that removes debris and excess seminal fluid. This creates a purer, healthier group of sperm cells and helps reduce discomfort during the procedure.
These sperm vials are also the most versatile. Since they’re pre-washed, IUI vials can be used for IUI, ICI, at-home insemination, IVF, and ICSI. They’re a strong option when comparing sperm vials for sale.
Each IUI vial at Cryobank America targets 12.5 million motile sperm cells per 0.5ml. Buying two vials equals 25 million motile sperm cells per milliliter, offering a reliable choice for anyone looking to buy sperm vials with high concentration and consistency.

Intracervical Insemination (ICI) Vials
ICI sperm vials contain an “unwashed” specimen, meaning the sample still includes seminal fluid, round cells, and other natural cellular material. A cryogenic buffer is added to protect the sample during freezing and thawing, but no additional processing is done.
Because of the extra material, these sperm vials aren’t recommended for use in intrauterine insemination procedures. They work well for intracervical insemination or at-home insemination, and clinics can process them for IUI if needed, usually for an additional fee.
Our ICI sperm vials target 17 million motile cells per vial and come in 1-milliliter units, giving you a reliable option if you're comparing sperm vials for sale or planning to buy sperm vials for ICI-based treatments.

Vial Type Sperm Concentration Comparison
*Due to sperm counting being a subjective process, Cryobank America targets certain values and a range of +/- 30% is promised. Due to variations in counting methods and specimen recovery, it is expected that your laboratory will find values within 30% of our target concentration.
Sperm Vial Grades
Cryobank America offers three different types of IUI and ICI vials, each designed for specific fertility treatments and clinical needs.
Traditional Premium Vials
Premium vials contain the highest number of motile sperm cells and are commonly used for IUI and ICI procedures.
IUI vials target approximately 12.5 million motile sperm per 0.5 mL or 25 million motile sperm per 1 mL.
Premium IUI is best used for:
✔️ Home Insemination
✔️ IUI
✔️ ICI
✔️ IVF
✔️ ICSI
ICI vials target approximately 17 million motile sperm per 1 mL.
Premium ICI is best used for:
✔️ Home Insemination
✔️ ICI
✔️ IVF
✔️ ICSI
Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Vials
ART IVF (Assisted Reproductive Technology) vials contain fewer motile sperm cells and are typically used for IVF procedures.
IUI ART IVF vials contain approximately 6–12 million motile sperm per 0.5 mL or 6–24 million motile sperm per 1 mL.
ICI ART IVF vials contain approximately 6–16 million motile sperm per 1 mL.
IUI and ICI ART IVF are best used for:
✔️ IUI
✔️ ICI
✔️ IVF
✔️ ICSI
ICSI Vials
ICSI vials contain the lowest number of motile sperm cells, ranging from approximately 0.5 to 5.5 million per vial. Because intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) requires only a single sperm cell to fertilize an egg, these vials are recommended exclusively for ICSI procedures.
IUI and ICI ICSI vials are best used for:
✔️ IVF
✔️ ICSI
