More about the Saliva Collection Kit
Get familiar with our Saliva Collection Kit
which includes InActiv Blue® to guarantee a reliable outcome of SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR on saliva. The protocol for sample collection is so simple that it permits testing without the need for trained personnel, decreasing the risk of further transmission of COVID-19 disease! Of note, this is not a self test; the kit allows self-collection of saliva followed by testing in a qualified laboratory.
New generation of saliva collector
Blue CollectTM
Notwithstanding the success of the Saliva Collection Kit, InActiv Blue continued with the development of an alternative saliva collection receptacle that has now been validated and CE-marked under the name “Blue Collect™”.
Did you know that 90% of patients prefer saliva collection with one of our receptacles instead of a nasopharyngeal swab for COVID-19 testing?
