Product catalog summary
Overview: This document outlines the procedure for collecting and processing oral fluid specimens using a non-invasive collection device. It emphasizes the convenience and laboratory confidence of the method, which involves minimal contact and flexible testing methodologies.
Key Features:
  • Non-invasive and minimal contact collection reduces the need for extra sanitization.
  • Flexible testing methodologies with lab-based results.
  • Easy transport and processing of samples.
Collection Procedure:
  1. Invert the Oral Specimen Collection Device so the tip is facing upward and tap the cap end to move the collection pad away from the tip of the specimen vial.
  2. Break the specimen vial tip against the inside wall of the centrifuge tube, then invert and push the vial into the tube.
  3. Place the tube into the centrifuge and spin at 600-800 x g force for 15 minutes (approximately 3,000 rpm).
  4. Remove the specimen vial with a twisting motion. The diluted oral fluid sample is ready for testing.
Recommended Equipment:
  • Sarstedt Centrifuge tube, 67 mm x 16.8 mm polypropylene (CAT# 55.533) and caps (CAT# 65.816).
  • Kramer Scientific Centrifuge tube, 75 mm x 16 mm polypropylene (CAT# 010AXSN-1) and caps (CAT# 21-235-720 from Fisher Scientific).
Laboratory Preparation:
  • Ensure the sample is properly labeled with patient name, date, and time of collection before processing.
