Participant Study Packs

Participant Study Packs: Better Organization, Better Value, Better Data

You don’t need to spend the time and energy sorting, labeling and organizing your individual collection devices. Salimetrics’ Participant Study Packs are customized for your study, assembled using Salimetrics’ proven collection devices and methods based on best practices developed over 10,000 studies. Each pack is pre-assembled for your protocol, making it simple for participants to collect samples correctly and your team to store them efficiently.

Organizing your Sample Collection before you start increases the likelihood of participant compliance; obtaining, reliable high-quality samples; and creating a cleaner data set for your research study data. The Participant Study Packs are assembled in accordance with the Salimetrics’ ISO 13485 Quality System, ensuring a consistent method approach within and across studies, thereby reducing method outliers. By standardizing on best practice, researchers can leverage knowledge and save time at a lower overall study cost than doing the work themselves.

Why Participant Study Packs (PSPs) for Saliva Sample Collection?

Better sample collection starts with the better organization. Salimetrics PSPs feature:

Grab & Go: Participants can start sample collection immediately. No need to setup and assemble materials for each participant.
Time-Saving: Less time on prep and logistics, more time for participant recruitment and analysis.
Error Reduction: Pre-applied, study-specific, smart label barcodes improve organization for data analysis and eliminate mislabeling risks.
Custom Fit: Packs are tailored to your unique study design and workflow.
Quality Assurance: Every kit is assembled and checked to maintain consistency for every participant
End-to-End Support: From participant collection to lab-analysis, PSPs include everything you need to organize, store, and transport samples – all in one package.
Better Value: Standardizing organization and collection methods across research studies reduces overall study cost.

What’s Included in Participant Study Packs?

Better Collection for Participants:

Pre-Labeled Study Packs with Unique Participant ID Scan-Labels

Each ID label is pre-printed with a unique participant ID, study name, and sample number (for individual samples) to simplify organization, scanning, and traceability while reducing errors. Salimetrics labels are made of durable polypropylene to adhere permanently to packs and tubes. Capable of withstanding temperatures below -80°C, and are designed to remain secure through thawing, so no label is lost during sample processing.

Pre-Labeled Sample Vials (Organized by Study Requirements)

Sample collection storage vials come pre-labeled with scanable ID labels and are organized specifically for your study design based on your sampling scheme for a streamlined workflow. All vials have been rigorously validated by Salimetrics to maintain sample integrity for all approved analytes.

Participant-Centric Saliva Collection Devices (Passive Drool or Swabs)

Not all collection devices are created equal. Designed by researchers for researchers, Salimetrics collection devices have served millions of participant sample collection with up to 99% compliance and are validated for 100% sample integrity with approved analytes. Whether using the Saliva Collection Aid, or Salimetrics Oral Swabs, Salimetrics can pair the best-fit collection device for your participants and analytes of interest, or select your preferred collection device method:

Passive Drool Method: Considered the golden standard by researchers, this method comes with 2 mL cryovials and saliva collection aids. Everything you need to increase compliance, accelerate your sample collection, reduce mess, and preserve your sample integrity.

Swab Method: Swabs are proven to have the highest correlation to passive drool and comes with the oral swab and swab storage tube designed for increased participant compliance and saliva analysis. Different swabs are available based on your participant sample ( infants, animals, adults, children).

Better Tools for Researchers:

Sample Storage Freezer Boxes

Designed for better sample organization and storage, Salimetrics includes pre-labeled boxes to fit the expected total number of samples in your study with all PSP shipments.

OnTimePoint Saliva Collection Management App (with CoreLab+ Analysis)

If you are shipping samples back to the Salimetrics CoreLab+, your PSP shipment includes a complimentary study ID for Salimetrics’ OnTimePoint™ (OTP) Saliva Collection Management System. Designed by researchers for researchers, OTP allows you to track the exact time your study samples are collected in real time. This gives you, the researcher, the ability to monitor compliance and take action when needed—ensuring that both participants and their samples remain 100% compliant with saliva collection protocols.

CoreLab+ Auto-Roster (with CoreLab+ Analysis)

Keep organized in record time. If you’re sending samples to the Salimetrics CoreLab+, Salimetrics will auto-generate and send you a complete XLS sample roster that matches your sample-set for seamless organization. When you’re ready to submit your samples for testing, just specify the biomarkers for each sample you’re sending back to the lab.

Cold-Chain Sample BioShipper (with CoreLab+ Analysis)

If you are shipping samples back to the Salimetrics CoreLab+, your PSP shipment includes the appropriate quantity and sized bioshipper(s) for returning samples. Bioshippers are required to maintain the cold chain and reliably protect your samples from temperature-related degradation. The CoreLab+ follows best practices for shipping and receiving to ensure your samples remain at the highest possible integrity.
