Salimetrics offers a wide variety of salivary biomarkers Elisa kits
(Estradiol, DHEA, Cortisol, Progesterone, C-reactive Protein, etc) and saliva collection supplies.
 

How to Collect Saliva: Collection Methods and Devices

Passive Drool Method: Most researchers prefer to use unstimulated, whole saliva collected by the passive drool technique
in order to maintain consistency in the type of sample collected.
 
Absorbent Device Method: Swabs can be placed in the mouth to collect saliva for increased ease of use. Studies with small children
or other individuals that have difficulty with the passive drool technique also may require participant-specific swab-based collection methods.
 However, swabs are limited to certain analytes.
All SalivaBio swabs are made from a similar non-toxic, inert polymer which is guaranteed for consistency across all lots,
making it ideal for longitudinal and multi-participant group studies.
 
Consider the following criteria before selecting an appropriate saliva collection method:
 
Participant age & speciesValidated for analytes of interest
Number of samples required
Sample volume required
Single vs. multi-analyte and/or DNA analysis
Self vs. assisted collection
Biobanking vs. discarding samples
 
 
At Salimetrics collection tools for children and animals are available too!
Check SalivaBio Children’s Swab Method or SalivaBio Infant’s Swab Method
 
Salimetrics recommends SalivaBio’s Infant’s and Children’s Swab Devices as a validated method for collecting saliva from animals
with mouths 8mm and larger in diameter to provide comfortable and safe saliva collection.
