Donor types and services
Lucina offers detailed donor profiles with extended information through a secure online system. Donor profiles include medical history, physical characteristics, genetic screening and including information such as pictures, ethnicity/race, age, education, height and blood type. The bank highlights a broad donor pool including Asian, Caucasian, Latina and other heritages.
Lucina offers donor matching through ReflEggction AI, a facial-recognition matching tool designed to help intended parents find donors with similar phenotypic traits. The bank also promotes guarantee programs, including Blastocyst, PGT-A and Live Birth Guarantee Programs, as well as embryo creation and live birth guarantee options.
Most donations are anonymous, although donor availability depends on local regulations and individual donor programs.
Lucina provides customer support primarily in English through its San Diego team, website access forms, phone and email. The donor portal also includes multilingual donor-facing access options such as Chinese language/WeChat or Line login prompts.

Genetic test panel
Genetic information is made available to intended parents as part of the donor profile. Lucina states that donors are FDA-screened and medically screened, and that donors undergo comprehensive screening before acceptance including candidates’ general health, medical and genetic information. The bank also promotes genetic matching and access to genetic counsellors to support compatibility review.
The exact number of genes or conditions in Lucina’s genetic testing panel is not clearly disclosed on the public pages reviewed. The bank does state that it provides genetic testing results in donor profile/database materials and uses comprehensive donor screening as part of its donor selection and matching process.
