Do not place anything into the mouth including food, drink, gum, or tobacco products for at least 10 minutes prior to collection of saliva specimen.
1.Remove the swab from the sealed pouch.
2.Cough deeply twice before collecting the samples.
3. Insert the sponge end of the collector into the mouth. Then swab back and forth along the gum line from one end to the other end of the upper and lower gum for 3 to 5 times. Then slowly scrape the cheek inside the mouth for 3 to 5 times and slowly scrape the tongu surface for 3 to 5 times.Then put the collection pad on the tongue for 1 minutes
4.Open the lid of the collection tube. Remove the saturated collector pad out of the mouth and place it into the tube which contains 1 ml sample extraction buffer, and then fully stirred along the wall of the tube. Break off the collector, leaving the sponge end of the collector in the chamber.
5.Tighten the lid of the collection tube and mixing liquid of the chamber well before using (Shaking up and down for about 20 times).
Allow the test, specimen, extraction buffer to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
1. Remove the test device from the sealed foil pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed immediately after opening the foil pouch.
2. Put the test device on a clean and level surface.
3. Shake the swab specimen in the extraction vial to well mix.
4. To run test, twist open the bottom screw cap of the extraction vial to expose dropper tip.Transfer 3 drops (~90μl) of the specimen to the sample well of the test device and make sure a colored liquid appearing in the detection window in 30 seconds. Replace cap cover on the extraction vial.
5. Start timer. Read the result at 10~20 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
