Abstract
Human saliva recovery using the Salivette system was investigated. Two Salivette systems were employed. The recommended centrifugation proce dures for saliva recovery only recovered between 46% and 52% of the to tal volume. Modification of centrifugation speeds and duration allowed an 80% recovery. Differences were observed between the two Salivette systems tested with the newel system allowing a greater recovery. The findings have implications for saliva collection using this technique.
