European Sperm Bank is a privately owned Danish company established in 2004. We prioritise high-quality sperm, industry-leading donor testing, and dedicated advice above all. We do this to ensure you the best possible experience when making perhaps the most important choice of your life.
Thinking of the future is natural for us, and we do everything in our power to give the children we help put into the world the best possible start in life. All donors are approved by our Medical Director, who is a clinical genetic specialist, and we are one of the only sperm banks that offer genetic matching with potential donors to help you make the right choice.
At European Sperm Bank, we have a team-spirited approach to getting things done for you in the best way - and when necessary, you can count on us to go the extra mile. We follow all rules regarding national pregnancy limits and adhere to the guidelines outlined by the EU and WHO.
Trusted quality
Our donors
To ensure the best chance of pregnancy, we only approve donors who have excellent sperm quality. In addition to that, donor candidates also undergo a thorough screening process that vets their overall health and disqualifies candidates with selected hereditary diseases.

Guidance
We know that the path to parenthood can be overwhelming, so we take the time to ensure that you feel well-informed and safe throughout the process. Our team has vast experience with guiding women and couples on topics like choosing a donor, finding a clinic or how to order donor sperm.
We strive to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible for you. If you would like personal guidance on your fertility journey, you can book a consultation with one of our advisors.

Delivery
There's no room for error when it comes to packaging and shipping donor sperm.
At European Sperm Bank, we monitor every step of the process closely. Prior to being shipped in the safest way possible, we make sure to carefully prepare your order for transit. Regardless of destination, you can count on us to keep your order safe.
All units of donor sperm are frozen in little plastic tubes - what we call straws - and placed in a container for transport. This container is kept cool using liquid nitrogen and is known as a 'dry shipper'. The advantage of liquid nitrogen over dry ice is that liquid nitrogen can maintain a steady temperature for weeks.
Our commitment
Family support
As a sperm bank, we understand that what we do every day has a lasting impact on our customers and their future children.
That’s why we have a range of initiatives to support and guide parents and donor-conceived individuals. Our blog features advice on parenting a donor child, and our family support pages offer insight into the topics relevant to families created through donor conception.
Improving your chances of having a healthy child
Throughout the years, European Sperm Bank has helped bring many children into the world. Our extensive screening programme improves the probability of conceiving a healthy child.
Of course, the genes of the woman also play an important part. Most women are not subject to a genetic test prior to impregnation and it is therefore possible for genetic illnesses to stem from the mother. Even if you are fit as a fiddle, you could be a carrier for illnesses that only manifest in e.g. male children.
If you wish to minimise the risk of disease-causing combinations in the genes from you and your donor, European Sperm Bank offers GeneXmatch. As part of this genetic test, we take an in-depth look at your genes and match them to the genes of your selected donors. The test includes more than 390 recessive genes. In addition, we test for 11 gender-specific diseases, including Fragile X syndrome.
