Saliva Collection Systems

With the Greiner Bio-One Saliva Collection System, saliva is collected on the basis of a liquid extraction solution.
By rinsing the mouth cavity with the saliva extraction solution, saliva is mixed with the saliva extraction solution. The saliva extraction solution contains a dye as internal standard, with which the saliva quantity can be determined.

Advantages in brief:

• Standardised, reproducible saliva collection process
• No adsorption/discrimination of analytes by the collection device
• Even applicable in case of xerostomia (dry mouth) 
• Reduced sample contamination which can occur due to bacteria, epithelial cells and food remains
• High specimen volume
• Device format can be processed on every routine analyser
• One-step processing – the saliva quantity and the analyte determination can be carried out in one step on the same analyser
• Hygienic – Closed system
