Measuring Salivary Oxytocin Across Partnered Connection
Dyadic analyses identified unique OXT trajectories for women and men and helped clarify mixed findings in prior work. Although time was not a significant predictor, the pattern of means indicated that women’s OXT concentrations were highest at the start…
Salimetrics’ Core Lab Expands Access to Dried Blood Spot Testing for Researchers
Salimetrics, a leading provider of biospecimen collection and salivary bioscience testing methods, is excited to announce the expansion of its dried blood spot (DBS) collection and laboratory testing services for academic and clinical researchers worldwide, now doubling the available capacity for DBS assay services while reducing lead times for specimen analysis by…
New SeroNet Study Highlights Saliva’s Role in COVID-19 Antibody Testing
A recently published SeroNet protocol paper, led by Todd Lucas, Ph.D., C.S. Mott Endowed Professor at Michigan State University, Department of Public Health, and co-authored by the Salimetrics scientific team—founder Douglas Granger and CSO Steve Granger, underscores the power of saliva…
Insights into Uric Acid as a biomarker for Aggression, Violence, and Behavior
The search for biological markers that can be reliably linked to aggression and antisocial behavior has been central to the work of biological criminology. One such marker, uric acid, has long been suspected to play…
Salimetrics Announces Testing Capacity Expansion to Support Changes in NIH Policy on Foreign Subawards
Salimetrics reaffirms its commitment to supporting the research community with easy access to best-in-class methods for collecting and testing saliva and dried blood spot samples.
Expanding Access to Biomarker Research Using Dried Blood Spots from Dr. Thomas McDade
In this commentary published in the American Journal of Human Biology, Dr. Thomas McDade reflects on the transformative potential of dried blood spot (DBS) sampling over the past decade.
Salivary Cortisol, Inflammation, and HbA1c in Children with Type 1 Diabetes
The purpose of this quantitative study was to consider factors that may negatively impact glycemic levels in Black and White children 8-12 years old with a diagnosis of…
In Memoriam: Clarence “Clancy” Blair, MPH, PhD
Clancy and Doug Granger (Salimetrics founder) were longtime colleagues, collaborators, and very much enjoyed each other’s friendship. He will be missed by us, Doug, and by many many others….
Feasibility of Remote Dried Blood Spot Collection for Inflammatory Markers Using Lancets
Human metabolism is complex and dynamic, and is impacted by genetics, diet, health, and countless inputs from the environment. Beyond the genetics shared by family members, cohabitation leads to shared microbial and environmental exposures. Furthermore, metabolism is affected by factors such as…
Acute salivary cortisol response in children with ADHD during psychosocial intervention with and without therapy dogs
Children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) participated in a randomized clinical trial comparing animal-assisted intervention (AAI) to psychosocial treatment as usual (TAU). This brief report describes effects of AAI on…

Exploring Differences in Children’s Stress Physiology Using a Person-Centered Approach
Our understanding of associations between family-level risk factors and children’s stress physiology is largely derived from studies that apply “mean-based” rather than…
Salivary Osteocalcin and its association to psychiatric disorders
Osteocalcin is a bone-derived hormone implicated in the acute stress response and recently linked to adult depression. Yet it is unclear whether osteocalcin is a biomarker of other forms of…
Salivary and serum inflammatory markers relate to worse self rated health
Understanding the biological processes underlying poor self-rated health (SRH) can inform prevention efforts. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of using self-reported measures and self-collected biospecimens, such as saliva, to understand…
Understanding Salivary C-Reactive Protein as a Biomarker in Military Personnel
C-reactive protein is a systemic inflammatory biomarker that is positively associated with the development of disease. Salivary C-reactive protein (sCRP) has previously been reported to have a diurnal rhythm with higher levels upon…
