Published purpose

This project comprises developing enzyme-linked-immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for the quantitative determination of hormones in human saliva—an analyte matrix that, in contrast to blood, enables non-invasive collection of specimens for clinical diagnostics. Saliva tests are highly demanded worldwide but represent a technological challenge because of saliva’s low concentration of hormones and the susceptibility of specimens’ contamination with food and blood.
