Composition of saliva collector: The saliva collector is composed of a funnel lid, a funnel, a sampling tube, and a small cap for the sampling tube. The sampling tube contains a preservation fluid, which can be stored at room temperature for a long time after mixing with saliva, and the saliva collection sample DNA is not damaged. About 2 ml or so of saliva is collected. After collection, put the cap on and shake well to mix the saliva with the preservation fluid.
Benefits of the saliva collector: Saliva is rich in DNA and is a high quality source for sample collection. Saliva sample collection is a harmless and painless method of obtaining DNA. The method does not cause discomfort to the subject and is relatively easy to accept, thus maximizing the scope of sampling for genetic studies and making it particularly suitable for molecular epidemiology large-scale population surveys. The saliva sample DNA can be stored for many years at room temperature, which is green and portable.
The saliva collector ensures that a clean and hygienic saliva sample is obtained and can be used for analysis. Saliva samples collected by this method do not need to be frozen.
Uses of the saliva collector: for cortisol testing, genetic testing, etc. Saliva testing plays an important supporting role in diagnosis, treatment and control of a large number of conditions.
Main user groups: endocrinology, stomatology, infectious diseases, psychological disease analysis in hospitals, also in drug quarantine, and in animal husbandry.
Usage of saliva collector.
(1) Spit out saliva up to the scale line 2 ml.
(2) Forcefully cap the sampling tube with DNA preservation solution
(3) shake up and down to shake the preserved fluid and saliva well
(4) put it into a biosafety bag and send it for testing in time.
The advantages of the saliva collector compared to the blood test.
(1) simpler: no need to endure the pain of blood sampling, just a gentle spit of saliva to get the sample.
(2) more convenient: the sample is stable, stored at room temperature for up to several years, and easy to transport.
(3) More efficient: facilitates automatic purification, resulting in a greater quantity and better quality of DNA.
(4) Safer: non-invasive sample collection, reducing the chance of infection.
