Salivette oral swab

Manufactured by Sarstedt

The Salivette oral swab is a collection device designed to collect saliva samples. It consists of a small synthetic swab that is placed under the tongue to absorb saliva. The swab is then placed into a collection tube for storage and transport.

Salivary Cortisol Assessment for Stress Evaluation

Saliva samples were collected using an oral swab (SARSTEDT brand Salivette oral swab) made of polypropylene/low density polyethylene (LD-PE) material designed speci cally for cortisol. These tubes provide high analytical results from small quantities of samples.
In order to keep the standardization related with circadian rhythms saliva samples were collected between 8-9 am. Nevertheless, it was convened 12 am (pre-stress) and between 2-3 pm (post-stress/after unaware exam hour) to evaluate its relationship with stress. Within 60 minutes before the test, individuals were not allowed to smoke, eat, drink liquids or brush their teeth They were asked to soak the swab with saliva for 1 or 2 minutes until they are saturated completely. Tubes were waited 30 minutes at room temperature and then centrifuged for 10-15 minutes at approximately 3200 g. After centrifugation, the swab and small insert were thrown away, and the large outer tube was stored at -80 °C until analysis.
The twenty-three healthy young adult of faculty of dentistry students were recruited to the study. Exclusion criteria were presence of any disease that can affect hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
