Introduction

KaiBiLi^TM Saliva Collection Kit is composed with a saliva collection funnel, an accessory screw cap for saliva sample tube, and a transport tube prefilled with 2ml of saliva protective solution. Each kit is sealed in an individual package for one-time use. The large funnel with low adsorption allows for easy collection of saliva samples. Once the saliva sample has been collected in the tube, the funnel can be disconnected from the tube and disposed. A 2ml NTM solution is then added to the tube and the tube is closed with a screw-on accessory cap. The solution effectively inactivates pathogens (e.g. bacteria, virus) in collected samples, and preserves nucleic acids in samples at ambient temperature. Samples in buffer can be frozen (-20/-80°C) for prolonged periods.
