ZRT Laboratory saliva testing included in at-home testing study from John Hopkins

A recent study conducted by the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at John Hopkins Medical Institutions in Maryland, includes ZRT Laboratory saliva testing and ZRT internal research data in their examination of remote testing options. In the study, published in the May 2011 issue of Fertility and Sterility, investigators review and describe various over-the-counter testing products available to infertility patients. Doctors Brezina, Wallach, and Habel conclude that at-home testing represents an opportunity for physicians to involve patients actively in their care. “When properly used, these tests also may result in cost savings. Many of the technologies used are innovative and, with proper evaluation and implementation,could serve as valuable adjuncts to medical practices,“ the study observes. The article examines ZRT Laboratory salivary test kits, which measure a wide variety of hormones including estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol. The authors mention accuracy and the ease of use as the advantage of ZRT saliva testing. ZRT Laboratory, based in Beaverton, Oregon, is an industry leader for offering simple, at-home hormone and wellness test kits.
