Aeron’s New Improved Mailing System

San Leandro, CA, May 2002. Aeron LifeCycles Clinical Laboratory introduced a new 2-way mailer to expedite patient saliva and urine samples through the U.S. mail. Where other laboratories require patients to locate and often pay additional fees for the return of their samples, Aeron offers the convenience of dropping samples off at the patient’s home mailbox for automatic return to their Laboratory.

Aeron LifeCycles Clinical Laboratory is pleased to announce a significant change to the design and function of their laboratory mailer. The RUSH/STAT two-way laboratory mailing envelope with its bright red exterior will remind U.S. mailing personnel of the importance of the contents and help to eliminate lost, miss-directed or delayed laboratory specimens. The new pouch mailer has been tested and shown to be a more speedy and reliable transport vehicle than the traditional cardboard mailing tube in use by Aeron since 1995.

Aeron’ new mailer utilizes a unique double seal allowing it to be safely re-used to return samples to the laboratory. This 2-way design cuts down expenses and eliminates the unnecessary waste of other mailing systems. By continuing to be innovative, Aeron LifeCycles has been able to maintain the same pricing schedule since 1997 while improving quality and service.

Saliva samples are collected at home and conveniently travel through the US mail at room temperature. Hormone results are available to the consumer and/or medical provider in five to seven days. Simple and painless saliva collection eliminates the blood draw and permits the specimen to be collected in the early morning when hormone results are most meaningful.

Aeron LifeCycles Clinical Laboratory is the largest laboratory in the country with an exclusive focus on salivary testing services for consumers and medical providers. Tests measuring the bio-available fraction of estradiol, estrone, estriol, progesterone, testosterone, DHT, DHEA, cortisol, melatonin, and urine deoxypyridinoline are routinely performed.
