Research Biomarkers

Oasis Research Lab.

Advanced salivary panels for fertility, steroid, and stress biomarker discovery. Engineered for precision.

Fertility Panel

Comprehensive Fertility Insights

Assesses key reproductive hormones via saliva to inform fertility-focused research.

C18H24O2

17β-estradiol

Primary female sex hormone regulating estrous and menstrual cycles, reproductive tissues, and bone health; also present at lower levels in men.

C21H30O2

Progesterone

Essential for embryogenesis, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and neurosteroid roles; imbalances impact fertility, cycles, and metabolic balance with estrogen.

C21H30O3

17α-Hydroxyprogesterone

Progesterone-derived progestogen and cortisol precursor from adrenal glands and corpus luteum; useful in CAH screening and monitoring.

C19H28O2

Testosterone

Androgen produced primarily by testicles (males) and ovaries/adrenals (females); elevations in females can indicate PCOS, tumors, or CAH.

C19H28O2

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)

Endogenous steroid from adrenals, gonads, brain; key intermediate for androgen and estrogen synthesis and most abundant circulating steroid.

C19H28O5S

DHEAS

Sulfate ester of DHEA with stable, diurnal-free levels (~300× free DHEA); preferred measurement for consistency; formed via first-pass metabolism.

Steroid Panel

Profiles for Hyperandrogenic Disorders

Supports research on PCOS, congenital hyperplasia, or premature adrenarche via salivary steroid analysis.

C19H28O2

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)

Endogenous steroid precursor for androgen and estrogen synthesis; abundant in circulation; produced by adrenals, gonads, and brain.

C19H28O5S

DHEAS

Stable sulfate ester of DHEA without diurnal variation; preferred measurement for consistency; formed during first-pass metabolism.

C19H28O2

Testosterone

Androgen from testicles, ovaries, and adrenals; elevated levels in females may indicate PCOS, tumors, or CAH.

C21H30O2

Progesterone

Key progestogen for embryogenesis, cycles, pregnancy, neurosteroid roles, and steroidogenesis.

C18H24O2

17β-estradiol

Primary female sex hormone regulating cycles and reproductive tissues; essential bone and reproductive functions.

Stress / Fatigue Panel

Markers for Energy & Immune Health

Measures salivary factors relevant to chronic or recurring energy and immune challenges.

C21H30O5

Cortisol

Adrenal steroid regulating metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates; released in response to stress and low blood-glucose; modulates immune response.

Cytokine

Interleukin 1 beta (IL1β)

Cytokine mediating inflammatory responses; produced by activated macrophages and involved in proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and inflammatory pain hypersensitivity.

Cytokine

Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)

Cytokine central to acute-phase inflammation; regulates immune cells, can trigger inflammation, apoptosis, cachexia, and impacts tumorigenesis and viral replication.

Antibody

Immunoglobulin A (IgA)

Antibody critical to mucosal immunity; most abundantly produced antibody in the body.

C19H28O5S

DHEAS

Stable sulfate form of DHEA with high circulating levels; preferred for measurement due to lack of diurnal variation.
