Spermosens AB has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sapyen, a global male fertility diagnostics company with operations across the US, Europe, UK and Australia. The MoU reflects the parties' intention to evaluate a potential collaboration with the aim of establishing a partner-led commercialization model for Spermosens' diagnostic method, JUNO-Checked.

Male fertility diagnostics is undergoing a structural shift, driven by increasing demand for patient-friendly access combined with clinical-grade data. Sapyen has established a model that enables home-based sample collection while maintaining compatibility with laboratory-grade analysis, supporting integration into established fertility care pathways. Against this background, the MoU aims to assess how JUNO-Checked could complement and extend such diagnostic services by providing additional, clinically relevant insight into male fertility potential.

The intention of the MoU is to provide a structured framework under which the parties aim to evaluate a business model where Sapyen could take a leading role in commercial activities, supported by Spermosens' diagnostic technology. During the term of the MoU, the parties intend to assess commercial, operational and regulatory aspects relevant to a potential collaboration.

The MoU is non-binding and does not include any agreed commercial terms, exclusivity arrangements or commitments to enter into definitive agreements. Any potential collaboration remains subject to further evaluation and the execution of separate binding agreements.

Tore Duvold, CEO of Spermosens, comments: "We are highly impressed by Sapyen's patient-centric model and their unique SPX72™ technology, which provides the sample stability necessary for clinical-grade testing with home-based sample collection. This proprietary capability effectively bridges the gap between patient convenience and laboratory precision, making Sapyen an ideal partner as we evaluate scalable commercial pathways for JUNO-Checked. Their global platform offers a unique opportunity to bring our advanced diagnostic insights to a broader market."

Ashwin Ramachandran, CEO and Founder of Sapyen, comments: "JUNO-Checked addresses a fundamental and under-served biological dimension of male fertility that current diagnostic solutions largely overlook. We believe the technology has the potential to meaningfully augment existing diagnostic pathways and improve the quality of clinical decision-making. This Memorandum of Understanding signals a clear ambition to pursue category-defining advances in male fertility diagnostics, not marginal improvements at the edges."
