Saliva-based tests rapidly expand access and testing options to combat COVID-19 in the UK

Today, Spectrum announced it has partnered with Steribottle to provide its innovative SDNA-1000 Saliva Collection Device for the COVID-19 population testing directive in the UK. Rollout of this extensive countrywide testing mandate includes every UK citizen once a week.

“Even with new vaccines, it is more important than ever before to increase the rate of testing,” said Stephen Fanning, President, and CEO of Spectrum Solutions. “Many countries are experiencing skyrocketing rates of infection. It is vital to global health and safety for individuals and governments to be aware of accurate infection rates and geographic hot spots in order to plan and execute effective healthcare strategies and initiatives. We are very proud to partner with Steribottle in this fight against COVID-19 in the UK.”

“Testing is the purposeful pursuit of knowledge and understanding. It’s not only a window providing visibility into the disease but provides a quicker path to informed decisions and treatment” said Luke Fisher, CEO of Steribottle. “The Spectrum saliva-based testing solution provides a validated system and proven process that safely mitigates unnecessary exposure.”

The Spectrum Solutions SDNA-1000 Saliva Collection Device was the first saliva-based solution to receive the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for COVID-19 testing. It supplants the need for the painful nasal swab process with a more accurate and pain-free saliva collection process. This easy-to-use option was engineered to eliminate user collection errors and provides a path for at-home sample self-collection that mitigates downstream exposure risks by delivering in-device viral inactivation. Offering the safest & most robust biomaterial for detecting COVID-19, the Spectrum SDNA saliva collection system provides over 10 days of post-collection stability with no degradation in sample efficacy.

Saliva Diagnostics

This changes everything!

Saliva analysis looks at the cellular level, the biologically active compounds, making it a true representative of what is clinically relevant. Engineered to lead the saliva collection industry, the BioMAX™ delivers the safest and most robust biosample for the earliest detection and diagnosis of disease and infection.

Since 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic, Spectrum’s saliva collection system not only introduced, it continues to expand the molecular diagnostics industry and its understanding of the opportunities saliva offers patients, providers, and laboratories.

  • Pain-free, non-invasive, & safe
  • Saliva contains the entire library of proteins, hormones, antibodies, and other molecular compounds measured in routine blood tests
  • First EUA-authorized saliva collection device for COVID-19 testing
  • No temperature-controlled storage or transport of collected biosamples
  • A single saliva sample provides opportunity for multiple tests
  • Months and years of post-collection stability with no degradation in sample efficacy (depending on the analyte)
  • Maintain critical bio-sample consistency
  • Mitigates any risk of viral infection throughout the testing process
  • Delivers the highest levels of testing accuracy using qualified extraction chemistries
