Good to know, part 2

Sperm samples could be stored in the kitchen cupboard instead of at sperm banks thanks to a new preservation technique that preserves sperm by drying it.

Storing dried samples at room temperature, then reconstituting them with a drop of liquid does not seem to interfere with the sperm's ability to fertilise eggs, the meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology heard yesterday.

Dr Imoedemhe said the process allows "patients to take responsibility for storing their sperm at home".

Slow day at the ESHRE . . .
