Blood and Saliva Collection Protocol

Blood samples were collected in citrate tubes and centrifuged at 1,000 g for 10 min followed by 2,500 g for 10 min. Plasma aliquots were stored at −20°C.
For saliva collection between 8 and 12 a.m., patients were asked not to eat, drink or perform dental hygiene for at least 1 h before collection. Saliva was collected using Salivette® plain cotton swabs (51.1534, Sarstedt, Nümbrecht, Germany) and kept on ice during the collection procedure. Swabs were centrifuged at 1,000 g for 2 min and saliva aliquots were stored at −80°C.

Saliva-based Biomarker Discovery for HNSCC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Saliva samples were obtained from newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve HNSCC patients with histologically confirmed tumors seen at the ENT department of Ulm University Hospital as well as from healthy donors (HD) in agreement with the local ethics committee (Votum #90/15). Each patient provided informed consent. The lab examiners were not blinded to the source of the material analyzed. Tables 1, 2 show clinicopathological data of enrolled patients.
Saliva was collected using Salivette® plain cotton swabs (Sarstedt, Nürmbrecht, Germany, 51.1534) between 07:00 and 10:00 a.m. Patients did not eat, drink or perform dental hygiene for at least 1 h before collection to reduce contamination. The probands sequentially chewed six swabs for 1 min until they were soaked with saliva. Samples were immediately put on ice during the collection process. The swabs were centrifuged at 1,000 × g for 2 min to gather the saliva in the reservoir. The obtained saliva of each sample was pooled to ensure a homogenous mix for each patient. The resulting saliva specimens were stored in aliquots at −80°C until further use.

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.
