IBL Tecan – Saliva Diagnostics

Steroid hormone assessment from saliva allows the specific determination of the biologically active or “free” fraction of target hormones. IBL International, powered by Tecan, provides highly sensitive luminescence immunoassays and ELISAs specially developed and validated for saliva.

All about saliva

Working with saliva has many advantages: sample collection is non-invasive, painless and stress-free. Multiple specimens may be collected anytime, anywhere, with no need for medical staff. It is so simple that even special patients such as children and the elderly can easily manage it themselves. Saliva sampling can be performed during physical exercise and rest periods, so athletes can be monitored during training.

 

IBL International has introduced a special ultrapure polypropylene sampling device called SaliCap, which ensures excellent recovery of progesterone in the saliva.


Applications for salivary diagnostics

Saliva is the specimen of choice in a variety of traditional medical care situations as well as in the emerging areas of health measurement and monitoring. With the ability to evaluate a pooled saliva sample from multiple collections it is possible to get a reliable assessment of hormone concentration even in cases of marked diurnal fluctuation.
