Product Features
This product can be immediately used for collection, preservation and transport of saliva, and stabilize the free DNA (CE FREE DNA) or virus sample there in through preservation solution. It's also suitable for diagnostics of saliva samples for molecular diagnostic tests (including but not limited to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or branch DNA amplification technique), virus tests or other in vitro tests.
Operating Process
The Thermo Scientific SpeciMAX Saliva Collection Kit provides a simple method for the collection of raw (aka plain, whole) saliva. The kit comes with an easy-to-use funnel, an automation friendly saliva collection tube, and a screw cap to secure the sample after collection. Unlike 15 and 50 mL conical tubes, the SpeciMAX saliva collection tube integrates easily into automatic processing and analysis workflows that are part of high-throughput SARS-CoV-2 surveillance research programs. Eliminate the need for messy manual pipetting of saliva from bulky conical tubes and collect saliva directly into automation-sized SpeciMAX tubes. Each SpeciMAX kit is individually packaged in single-use peel pouches enabling easy distribution of devices for high-throughput saliva collection.
The saliva sample collector is an incredibly useful and important tool in the field of medical research and testing. These devices have become increasingly popular for collecting saliva samples because they are safe, convenient, and non-invasive. In addition, they are easy to use and can be used anywhere, anytime.
One of the most significant benefits of using a saliva sample collector is that it doesn't require any special training or expertise to use. There is no need for a medical professional to draw blood, which can be uncomfortable for the patient and use equipment that can be cumbersome and complicated. Saliva collection is quick, simple, and painless, making it an ideal method for collecting samples from a large population.
Another advantage of saliva sample collection is that it has proved to be an accurate and effective diagnostic tool for various medical conditions. Saliva analysis can identify important biomarkers that can indicate the presence of various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Salivary testing has been known to detect certain cancers earlier than traditional detection methods, which can have a significant impact on treatment outcomes.
Moreover, saliva sample collection can be used to monitor the effectiveness of medications and treatment plans. As saliva analysis has a direct correlation to the bloodstream components, it is possible for physicians to monitor their patient's progress without the need for invasive procedures.
Lastly, saliva collection eliminates the risk of accidental exposure to blood-borne diseases like HIV, Hepatitis B and other diseases. Using saliva sample collection ensures that healthcare professionals and the general public are safe from the risks that come with traditional blood samples.
The saliva sample collector is an innovative and valuable tool that is transforming medical research and testing for the better. With its numerous benefits, it's easy to see why saliva collection is quickly becoming the preferred method for sample collection. It's a reliable, safe and convenient alternative to traditional diagnostic procedures with a low risk of exposure to blood-borne illnesses.
How do you collect saliva samples?
Spit into the open funnel until the amount of saliva (not bubbles) reaches the fill line. Most people take 2 to 5 minutes to fill the tube. Close the lid tightly by pushing down hard on the funnel lid until you hear a loud click. The liquid will flow down into the tube.
How do you collect unstimulated saliva?
A standard practice for saliva collection is the collection of unstimulated whole saliva, using the passive drool method. Whole saliva is most easily collected using collection tubes with funnels to prevent spillover.
How long does saliva last on an object?
Some disease-causing organisms, or pathogens, can thrive and multiply for some time on an object like a phone receiver spattered by the saliva of an infected person. But most bacteria and viruses quickly die when moisture disappears, usually after one or two hours for the saliva spray.
How do you collect passive drool?
Saliva Collection Step-by-Step Outline:
1.Open pouch (if applicable) and remove the Saliva Collection Aid (SCA).
2.Place ribbed-end of the SCA securely into a pre-labeled collection vial (see Caution 3 below).
3.Allow saliva to pool in mouth. ...
4.After the vial is filled to the required volume, remove and discard SCA.
What is saliva collection kit?
Saliva collection kits are for stabilization, transport, and subsequent isolation of DNA and/or RNA from human or mammalian whole saliva specimen for nucleic acid-based analysis, this includes next-generation sequencing and PCR-based methodologies (i.e. transcriptional gene expression analysis).
Features of the SpeciMAX Saliva Collection Kit include:
• Individual single-use peel pouch to protect the kit
• Non-invasive, simple, quick 1-mL saliva self-collection
• Streamlined sample accessioning with unique 1D serial barcodes
• Standard-sized cap compatible with commercial decapper systems
• Saliva collection tube that fits most automation liquid handler racks
