Disease Diagnosis
- Infectious Disease Detection
  During the COVID-19 pandemic, the saliva swab collection kit has been widely used in the detection of the novel coronavirus. By collecting saliva samples, it is possible to detect whether the nucleic acid of the novel coronavirus exists, providing important detection evidence for epidemic prevention and control. In addition, for the detection of various respiratory infectious disease pathogens such as the influenza virus, Epstein-Barr virus, and cytomegalovirus, the saliva swab collection kit can also play an important role. It helps doctors diagnose diseases quickly and accurately and take timely treatment measures.
- Oral Disease Diagnosis
  It can be used to detect pathogens such as bacteria and fungi in the oral cavity, and assist in the diagnosis of oral diseases such as periodontitis, gingivitis, and oral candidiasis. For example, by detecting specific bacterial markers in saliva, it is possible to determine whether a patient has periodontitis and evaluate the severity of the condition, providing a reference for formulating personalized treatment plans.
Genetic Testing
- Genetic Disease Screening
  Saliva contains oral mucosal epithelial cells, which contain the complete genomic information of an individual. Using the saliva swab collection kit to collect saliva samples can be used for genetic testing of hereditary diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and thalassemia. By detecting relevant gene mutations, early diagnosis can be carried out before the appearance of symptoms, providing important evidence for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis, and helping families prevent the transmission of genetic diseases.
- Pharmacogenomics Testing
  The genetic differences of each person can affect the metabolism and efficacy of drugs in the body. Through genetic testing of saliva samples, it is possible to analyze the genes related to drug metabolism in individuals, predict the patient’s response to certain drugs, guide clinicians to use drugs precisely, improve the effectiveness and safety of drug treatment, and avoid the occurrence of adverse drug reactions.
Health Monitoring
- Hormone Level Detection
  The hormone levels in saliva are closely related to the physiological state of the human body. For example, by detecting the cortisol level in saliva, it is possible to evaluate the stress state of the human body and the function of the adrenal cortex. In the field of sports medicine, the saliva swab collection kit can be used to monitor the hormonal changes of athletes during training and competitions, adjust the training plan reasonably, and prevent overtraining and sports injuries. In addition, detecting the sex hormone levels in saliva can also be used to evaluate the reproductive health status and assist in the diagnosis of diseases such as endocrine disorders.
- Nutritional Status Assessment
  Saliva contains a variety of markers related to nutritional metabolism, such as vitamin D, vitamin B12, and ferritin. By collecting saliva samples and detecting the levels of these markers, it is possible to understand the individual’s nutritional status, promptly detect problems of nutritional deficiency or excess, provide a basis for formulating personalized nutritional intervention plans, and promote people’s healthy diet and lifestyle adjustment.
Forensic Applications
- Identification
  In scenarios such as crime scenes or traffic accidents, the saliva swab collection kit can be used to collect saliva samples, and DNA analysis can be carried out for identification. The DNA in saliva is highly consistent with the individual’s genomic information, which is unique and stable, and can provide powerful evidence for case solving and judicial trials.
- Paternity Testing
  Using DNA testing of saliva samples, paternity testing, such as paternity testing and grandparent-grandchild testing, can also be carried out. In some legal affairs involving inheritance of property, immigration, etc., the samples collected by the saliva swab collection kit can provide a scientific basis for determining the kinship and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties involved.
