Comparison of the Halosperm test kit with the sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) infertility test in relation to patient diagnosis and prognosis.
The Halosperm test kit, the latest of the sperm DNA fragmentation tests, is considered by Fernández et al. to be a suitable replacement for the Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay (SCSA) test. Although the test is ingenious and interesting, the data lack the statistical rigor of the SCSA test.
