Saliva collection devices come in a variety of designs and are produced by a small number of companies. Saliva Collection Devices are medical devices used for collecting, stabilizing and transporting saliva specimens. They can be used by laypersons 18 and older, and by healthcare workers. DNA Genotek, Spectrum Solutions, and Isohelix are all leading players in the academic and direct-to-consumer markets. Many of these instruments are used to diagnose diseases including COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2. The technology is simple and intuitive to use. The most basic saliva collection devices are simple tubes and funnels.
OMNIgene*ORAL and Oragene*Dx are two types of saliva collection devices. The OMNIgene*ORAL is the better of the two. It is a third-party COVID-19 test manufacturer, which is an advantage for consumers. It is not suitable for use in clinical settings. It is only for research and scientific applications. There are no side effects or adverse reactions with these devices.
The OMNIgene*ORAL device consists of a long tube with an attached funnel and a small reservoir that contains a stabilizing liquid. The cap is threaded and can be replaced after collection of the sample. This kit is available as a standalone product or as part of a self-collection kit. The instructions are easy to read and the whole saliva collection device is intuitive to use. There are three common causes of user error when collecting biosamples by hand.
One of the most popular types of saliva collection devices is the Super*SAL(tm). This device can collect saliva from different animal species, and has been shown to be effective for detecting hormones, bacteria, viruses, and specific drug molecules. Its user-friendly design and minimal steps make it a perfect choice for any laboratory. The Super*SAL(tm) is also suitable for non-clinical studies. This device works by collecting saliva from the pool under the tongue. In November 2020, DNA Genotek received emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Saliva Collection Devices, ORAcollect®·RNA (OR/ORE-100).
