Abstract
This chapter reviews common practices, identifies special considerations, and recommends best practices for saliva specimen collection methods employed in interdisciplinary salivary bioscience research. We discuss the practical aspects of collecting saliva samples across a variety of research applications, considerations for target populations, environmental factors that affect salivary biomarkers, collection methods, cold chain management and sample handling, transport, and archiving. Best practices are recommended based on the current state of the art.
In the interest of full disclosure, Douglas A. Granger is the founder and chief scientific and strategy advisor of Salimetrics LLC and Salivabio LLC (Carlsbad, CA) and the nature of these relationships is managed by the policies of the committees on conflict of interest at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the University of California at Irvine.
