title: Comparison of the Halosperm test kit with the sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) infertility test in relation to patient diagnosis and prognosis.
abstract: 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.
