Validating saliva as a biological sample for cost-effective, rapid and routine screening for SARS-CoV-2

2022-02-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Purpose</h4> Compared to nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs, non-invasive saliva samples have enormous potential for scalability and routine population screening of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we are investigating the efficacy of saliva samples relative to nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs for use as a direct source for the RT-PCR based SARS-CoV-2 detection. <h4>Methods</h4> Paired nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal...
