Accurate Saliva Testing Services

We specialize in saliva sample collection and testing for diverse academic, government and industrial research studies around the world.

If you need a proven, reliable saliva testing lab, make sure to request their testing references and specifications! Our CLIA certified testing lab measures stress hormones, immune markers, genetic markers, reproductive hormones, cytokines and other salivary biomarkers such as cotinine, melatonin and alpha amylase. We have the experience and references to deliver the accurate results you need.

Saliva Collection Supplies, Techniques & Advice

We provide saliva collection supplies and can help give advice on collection techniques to ensure you get meaningful results. Additionally we assist with study design and statistical analysis to extend your research.

Salimetrics scientists are experts in immunoassay. We are able to apply our enzyme immunoassay technique to other biological specimens, including urine, serum/plasma, and dried bloodspots, so you only need one testing partner for your project. Additional Services are available upon request. Please contact our customer support for details if you do not see your target analyte in the list below.

α-Amylase is Location Dependent

α-Amylase has a Diurnal Rhythm

α-Amylase may be Flow Rate Dependent (We advise measuring saliva flow rates when collecting samples as ongoing research may determine if necessary.)

Passive Drool is a Preferred Collection Method

CRP is Location Dependent

Passive Drool Only

DHEA-S is Flow Rate Dependent (pg/mL)

SIgA is Location Dependent

SIgA is Flow Rate Dependent (µg/mL)

Passive Drool is a Preferred Collection Method
