*Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing (also called NAT for Nucleic Acid Testing) is a far more sensitive testing method which uses molecular genetic techniques to identify for the presence of the DNA of the infecting virus. Fairfax Cryobank makes more extensive use of this testing method than any other sperm bank.
