This test is designed to test saliva that naturally pools in your mouth (for example when you think about a delicious meal).

This kit is for saliva collection only.
Do not deposit mucus, phlegm, blood, other substances, or foreign objects.
Do not use mouthwash for at least 2 hours prior to providing your sample.
