Better Bioscience: Something’s Off in Your Data-Set
Drop Date: August 2025 Doing better with your research samples To a principal investigator (PI), poor quality technical precision is measurement error (ME). ME is rarely catastrophic on its own, but it introduces noise, complicates analysis, reduces statistical power, and raises questions (and costs) that distract from discovery. In the world we live in, high-quality [...]
Better Bioscience: Is It Meaningful?
Drop Date: August 2025 Rediscovering the ‘Reliable Change Index’ Commentary by Dr. Granger. Recently, I took a moment to look in the rear-view mirror and reflect on the evolving role of salivary biomarkers in behavioral research. The view is striking. Over the past 25 years, thousands of published studies have successfully integrated salivary bioscience to [...]
Better Bioscience: Let’s talk about it
Drop Date: May 2025 We all know that recruitment and retention of research participants demands consistent engagement, planning, training, execution, and coordination. It’s a full-time effort to get this right. Managing analytical laboratory methods also requires deep technical expertise, quality control, and ongoing validation to ensure data integrity. Excelling at both the field and lab-based [...]

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…
Better Biobehavioral Science: More Research is Needed
Drop Date: April 2025 In the quest to unlock biological insights, researchers are continuously challenging themselves to consider and decide which sample type will best provide the critical data they need for innovation. Blood has long been the go-to for many analytes, albeit with reduced timepoint sampling frequency and sample sizes. Saliva, as a more [...]
