Spit Camp
Spit Camp workshops assist researchers with training in the integration of salivary measures into scientific studies. We have several different versions of Spit Camp to meet your individual needs.
All Spit Camps cover the same main topics such as: Oral fluids as biological specimens, An overview of saliva collection methods and devices, Using proper collection, handling, storage and shipping methods, Awakening response, Diurnal variation, and the basics of enzyme immunoassay techniques used for assaying saliva. In general, Spit Camps have a hands-on lab practicum, while Spit Camp workshops are seminar-based.
