BioSaliva

The standard sample collection method for SARS-CoV-2 testing, NPOP swabs, can be uncomfortable for patients. BioSaliva offers a non-invasive alternative for collecting samples by gargling for COVID-19 and respiratory pathogen testing, providing a more comfortable experience.

Kit Components

  • Gargle Solution (1 x 4mL)
  • Collection Buffer (1 x 1mL)
  • Funnel (1 pc)

Storage Conditions

Store the kit at room temperature with a period of validity of 12 months. The Gargle collection kit can preserve RNA for 30 days at room temperature, -20°C, and -80°C after sample collection.

Warning and Attention

At least 1 hour before specimen collection, patients are advised not to eat, drink, smoke, gargle, or brush their teeth.

Features

  • Easy to Use: Simply gargle to collect the samples.
  • Non-invasive: Ensures a comfortable experience.
  • Suitable for All Ages: Usable by anyone from 5 to 65 years old, as long as they can gargle.
  • Self-administered: No need for medical personnel assistance.
  • Stable at room temperature: Stable for 30 days at room temperature after sample collection

Product Details

BioSaliva is certified by the Ministry of Health (KEMENKES AKD 10302120673) and is designed to efficiently collect the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the oropharyngeal area without causing discomfort to patients. It has been validated to perform comparably to NPOP swabs, achieving a sensitivity of 91.38% when used with the mBioCoV-19 qRT-PCR kit (Utama et al., 2022).

Procedures

Store the reagents at (20oC - 25oC) upon delivery.
  1. Take out the Gargle Solution and transfer it to your mouth (Do not swallow).
  2. Gargle the solution in your throat while tilting your head backward for 10-15 seconds. Hold the solution in your mouth for 3-5 seconds.
