Donald P. Evenson, Ph.D., HCLD/CC/ALD(ABB)

D

onald P. Evenson, 84, of Brookings, SD, passed away in March 2025. Dr. Evenson was an internationally renowned scientist for pioneering the assessment of sperm DNA damage as related to human and animal male factor infertility and toxicology. He and his colleagues published a couple hundred manuscripts and book chapters on this topic.

Dr. Evenson was an AAB member for over 25 years and was certified by ABB for over 23 years. He regularly attended the AAB educational conferences and CRB symposia and his company, SCSA® Diagnostics, supported the annual AAB/CRB educational programs for many years.

In 1964, Dr. Evenson received his B.A. degree in biology/ chemistry from Augustana College in Sioux Falls, SD. In 1968, he received his Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology at the University of Colorado.

This was followed by a twoyear postdoctoral study of mammalian DNA structure at the Institute of Molecular Biophysics, Florida State University, then two years at the Union Carbide Research Institute, Tarrytown, New York, studying the DNA structure of a cancer virus. He then served a dual faculty appointment for eleven years at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences in New York City. During this time, he studied the effects of

Gynecology, Sanford Medical School, University of South Dakota, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, up until the time of his death.

Donald P. Evenson October 30, 1940 March 20, 2025

chemotherapy on sperm quality.

His invention of the Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay (SCSA®) is now used around the world in numerous infertility clinics.

In 1983 Dr. Evenson joined the faculty at South Dakota State University as professor of biochemistry, where over the course of more than 25 years he continued to further develop the SCSA® protocol and study its significance in relation to male factor infertility in humans, pigs, horses, cattle, and zoo animals.

Dr. Evenson received, continuously over 25 years, NIH Research Project Grants and grants from other national agencies. His SCSA® test is internationally recognized as the first proven commercial test of sperm DNA integrity.

Dr. Evenson was president and director of SCSA® Diagnostics in Brookings, South Dakota. He was an adjunct professor in the Department of Obstetrics and -6-

Dr. Evenson authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications that have been cited in other publications more than 14,000 times. He was a member of various professional societies and served as an expert peer reviewer for various scientific journals. Dr. Evenson received multiple awards during his tenure at South Dakota State University, including the title of distinguished professor, and he received lifetime achievement awards from Augustana College and the International Animal Andrology Association.

He also carried out one-year sabbaticals together with his wife, Carol, at the Norwegian National Hospital in Oslo, Norway, and the Department of Animal Science, University of Sydney, Australia.

Dr. Evenson is survived by his wife, Carol, three children, Kay (Rick) Kasperson, Paul (Jen) Evenson, Mark (Meredith) Evenson, three grandchildren, Shamus (Cassie) Evenson, Grace Evenson, Zoe Evenson (John Mosher) and two great grandchildren, Soren Evenson, Freya Mosher, sister Bernice (Al) Teixeira and many nieces and nephews.

How One High-Volume Fertility Clinic Transformed Cryostorage Management From Legacy Processes to Leading Performance Key insights from Reprotech’s From Legacy Processes to Leading Performance whitepaper.

THE CHALLENGE Clinic A is a high-volume fertility clinic with 30+ years of experience and 1,300+ annual retrievals, managing a large legacy cryostorage inventory through fragmented systems that created growing inefficiencies in billing, consent, and inventory management.

THE SOLUTION: CRYOLOGIX (CLX) Clinic A implemented Reprotech’s Cryologix (CLX) platform to centralize cryostorage operations across billing, consent management, inventory tracking, and off-site storage.

KEY RESULTS Cryologix delivered measurable results across the areas that matter most: patient engagement, revenue performance, and operational efficiency.

1300+

updated or submitted consents

11

full tanks of nonrevenue specimens

4.6M collected 3.9M

returned to clinic

WHY IT MATTERS Clinic A’s experience demonstrates that when cryostorage is treated as strategic infrastructure—not an afterthought—clinics see measurable gains in: - Patient trust and engagement - Regulatory and documentation compliance - Space utilization and staff efficiency - Long-term, scalable revenue

Cryogenic preservation is governed by physical laws that begin to shift at the moment of vacuum compromise. These inception-level failure signatures have historically remained unseen, as conventional approaches respond only after failure conditions are already in progress.

DeTech’s CryoCapture™ platform is grounded in the physics of vacuum behavior, recognizing deviation at its earliest point through external, non-invasive telemetry focused on performance parameters, including weightbased verification within a broader multi-parameter system. By identifying failure at inception, CryoCapture™ establishes a direct link to true system integrity.

Designed for universal application across tank types and adjacent lab environments, including incubators, refrigerators, freezers, and controlled storage systems, the platform advances a new paradigm in asset awareness.

CryoCapture™ defines a standard rooted in the physics of failure itself.

Esco Medical and Allwin Medical deliver an end-to-end IVF platform, integrated across the laboratory workflow equipment, traceability, and consumables in one cohesive ecosystem.

Esco Medical provides European-designed and manufactured multiroom and time-lapse incubators, IVF workstations, and witnessing and traceability systems.

Allwin Medical complements this with a comprehensive portfolio of specialized IVF consumables, including embryo transfer catheters, oocyte pickup needles, insemination catheters, vitrification devices, denudation tips, and other critical laboratory disposables.

Together, the two brands help IVF clinics standardize workflows, strengthen traceability, reduce operational complexity, and focus on delivering clinical excellence.
