Why use saliva samples?
Collection of saliva samples is less invasive than collecting blood samples, which require clinical staff to administer. New technology from Oragene ™ allows samples to remain at room temperature for long periods of time. Purification kits from Oragene ™ provides a good yield of DNA (100 µg) and is easy to extract. A children’s saliva kit has been developed to simplify the collection of saliva from children aged less than four years.
