Allow the test cassette, specimen, and/or controls to reach room
temperature (15-30ºC) prior to testing. Instruct the donor to not
place anything in the mouth including food, drink, gum or tobacco
products for at least 10 minutes prior to collection.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove
the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour.
2. Remove the collector from the sealed pouch and insert the sponge
end of the collector into the mouth. Actively swab the inside of
the mouth and tongue to collect oral fluid for a total of 3 minutes
until the sponge becomes fully saturated. Gentle pressing the sponge between the tongue and teeth will assist saturation. No hard
spots should be felt on the sponge when saturated.
3. Remove the collector from the mouth. Place saturated oral fluid
collector into chamber and press sponge fully against the strainer
to collect oral fluid. Discard the collector. Snap the cap shut on
the collection tube.
4. Place the test cassette on a clean and level surface. Unscrew
cap cover from the collection tube. Invert the collection tube and
transfer 3 drops of oral fluid (approximately 120 µL) into specimen
well of the test cassette and start the timer. Avoid trapping air
bubbles in the specimen well. Place screw cap on the collection
tube. See illustration below.
5. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 10
minutes. Do not read results after 1 hour.
