SALI-TUBES 100
Sampling tubes for collection of saliva samples to be used in the DRG Salivary Immunoassays
Test Principle
- Sampling Notes
- The concentration of many analytes in saliva is highly dynamic. Therefore a meaningful timing of the sampling procedure is required.
- If you want to check the average concentration of steroid hormones in saliva you have to take at least 5 samples within 2 hours. Aliquots of these 5 samples are mixed prior to analysis. Such a sampling strategy will result in reproducible results.
- Collect Saliva fasting or earliest 30 minutes after eating or drinking.
- Rinsing of the oral cavity with water is recommended just prior to saliva collection (especially after eating).
- Do not use chewing gum.
- Do not use even the slightest red saliva samples (because of blood contamination).
- Sampling Procedure
- Label SALI-TUBES with label stickers.
- Release the saliva with help of the piece of straw into the SALI-TUBE.
- It is sufficient to fill half of the tube with saliva.
