Engineered to Lead the Saliva Collection Market in Molecular Diagnostic Applications
How you collect saliva makes a big diagnostic difference. To incorporate the use of saliva into molecular diagnostic testing protocols or implement actual real-world mass-testing in scalable scenarios, requires an authorized, proven, validated, and supported system that actually mitigates risk of exposure and a device engineered to increase testing accuracy.
The SDNA saliva collection device has been engineered to lead the saliva collection market in clinical diagnostic and research applications. This self-contained saliva collection system provides critical sample consistency and long-term stability while preserving and protecting DNA and RNA transcripts post-collection for sensitive and specific analysis. Sample self-collection using an SDNA collection kit additionally provides in-device complete live virus inactivation, at ambient temperatures, mitigating any risk of exposure for all downstream processes delivering shipping clearance with no biohazard UN3373 designation. Viral RNA samples maintain the highest bio-sample efficacy well over 10-days post-collection for optimal testing accuracy and require no special cold storage or transport.
Spectrum’s saliva collection systems ship with verified, unique barcode serialization for biosample digital chain-of-custody. Additionally, customized secondary packaging, kitting, and fulfillment options are available to solve any special project or testing workflow requirements.
Choosing the wrong saliva collection device can introduce and increase critical failure points. Spectrum’s new and technically-superior saliva collection devices are the answer your teams and projects have been waiting for.

SDNA-1000 Saliva Collection Kit for research only molecular diagnostic commercial DNA and viral RNA testing applications.
Under the current COVID-19 state of emergency, the FDA has granted special authorization (EUA202432) and device use for COVID-19 testing beyond research only applications to additionally include clinical diagnostics. This first-of-its-kind device authorization not only validates the technically-superior device capabilities but effectively paves the way for easy device integration and the addition of saliva-based testing into existing EUA authorized clinical diagnostic testing protocols. When using FDA validated device data no additional EUA submission is required [request right of reference letter].
Device application include:
- Clinical and academic research projects
- COVID-19 saliva-based diagnostic testing
- Personalized skincare, health & wellness
- Biobanking
- Direct-to-consumer biosample collection
SDNA-2000 reserved for DNA/viral RNA molecular diagnostic testing applications requiring a saliva collection system qualified as a class II medical device holding FDA 510k approval.
[510k application currently under FDA review. Product availability information coming soon.]

Intuitive Design on Purpose
User collection error is one of the most common points of failure from saliva self-collection.
So we engineered the solution.
A whole saliva collection device shown to be so intuitive that even without instructions, biosamples are still collected correctly.
WE RECOMMEND: Do not eat, drink, chew gum, or smoke at least 30 minutes before spitting into SDNA-1000 saliva collection tube.
