Description
Experience convenient collection children from 6 months to 6 years of age (or from animals) with Salimetrics Children’s Swab (SCS) Participant Sampling Packs. Unlike other swabs, the family of Salimetrics Swabs are the ONLY swab saliva collection devices proven to have the highest correlation to passive drool. The Children’s Swab performs sample collection safely and effectively using a 125mm swab which is long enough to hold one end firmly while placing the other end in participant’s mouth (thus eliminating any choking hazard). The Children’s Swab’s thin diameter (8mm) suits smaller mouths, and the durable polymer withstands chewing. Each swab comes individually wrapped to minimize the possibility of environmental contaminants, causes no change in sample pH, and has verified recoveries.
This complete participant saliva collection kit comes ready to use in the field or on-site. The volume of sample recovered is typically in the range of 200-1000 µL. Salimetrics’ swabs maintain sample pH, have verified recoveries and are backed by a Salimetrics QC report, to verify conformity across multiple lots while maintaining minimal lot-to-lot variability.
