Description

Description

  • Intended for the collection and preservation of saliva specimens in the presence of healthcare professionals
  • An aid in nucleic acid-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for in vitro diagnostic purpose
  • The individual single-use peel-pouch kit comes with an easy-to-use spill-resistant funnel, an automation-friendly saliva collection tube, and a screw cap to secure the sample after collection
  • The SpeciMAX Dx saliva collection tube is pre-filled with 1 mL of stabilization agent for virus inactivation
  • Integrates easily into automatic processing and analysis workflows that are part of high-throughput diagnostic testing
  • Refrigeration or freezing stabilized saliva samples is not recommended as precipitation of the stabilization agent has downstream effects

Features of the SpeciMAX Dx Stabilized Saliva Collection Kit include:

  • Inactivation of common respiratory viruses
  • Stabilization solution that preserves gDNA, RNA, and viral nucleic acid in saliva samples
  • Nonhazardous stabilization solution that is compatible with all disinfection protocols—no reaction with bleach (no guanidinium or ethanol)
  • Barcoded, standardized tubes and caps that fit automated workflows
  • Instrumental in high-throughput diagnostic testing

Sample storage

  • Refrigeration or freezing the stabilized saliva samples is not recommended as precipitation of the stabilization agent has downstream effects
  • The SpeciMAX stabilization agent preserves nucleic acid in saliva samples at ambient temperature for the following lengths of time:
    • gDNA: 6 months
    • RNA: 30 days
    • Viral nucleic acid: 30 days

Easy to use

  • Each SpeciMAX Dx Stabilized Saliva Collection Kit comes ready to use in individually packaged easy-peel blister pouches
  • To use the kit, the saliva donor follows four easy steps:
    • Remove and save the cap, then attach the funnel securely to the collection tube.
    • Fill saliva to the 2.0 line (not including bubbles)
    • Unscrew and discard the funnel (do not reuse)
    • Secure the cap on the tube, then mix by inverting the tube five times
  • For best results, saliva donors should be instructed to refrain from eating, drinking, using tobacco products, or chewing gum for at least 30 minutes prior to sample collection
