I used do do L/S ratio testing for fetal lung maturity on amniocentesis fluids back in the day. The collection method and the testing is archaic looking back on it now. It's because of volunteers like you guys that we have much better testing methods for these things now. What used to be a harrowing method of collection and an 8 hour test is now done with a cervical swab and a 15 minute test.
