Carrier Genetic Testing (CGT SYNC)
Ensure Donor Compatibility With Confidence
We partner with Igenomix UK to offer genetic counselling as well as testing for any conditions identified in your top two donor candidates. This service is available for both UK and international donors listed on Sussex Sperm Bank’s website.
This testing, called CGT SYNC (carrier genetic testing, synchronized), also includes screening for X-linked conditions, which are typically passed from the egg source/mother to the child. If results show you and your selected donors are not genetically compatible, Igenomix will perform another CGT SYNC analysis on your original sample with a new donor at no additional cost.
- Cost for Genetic counselling only: £124 for a 45-minute session. If you proceed with testing, this amount is deducted from the total cost (final cost: £529).
- Cost for Genetic counselling & Testing: £653, billed by Igenomix (VitroLife Group)
- Turnaround Time: 25 working days
We strongly recommend securing a family slot and vials before beginning the carrier screening process on your selected donor(s), as the donor’s vials may no longer be available by the time your genetic test results are complete.
First-Choice Donor
To reserve your first-choice donor, you will need to purchase:
- A family slot, and
- The required vial(s)
Second-Choice Donor
If you would like to reserve a second-choice donor, please note:
- Future availability cannot be guaranteed unless reserved.

- The second-choice donor reservation will match your first-choice booking
(e.g., if you purchase 2 vials for your first-choice donor, the second-choice reservation will also include 2 vials)
