Washington [US], December 12 (ANI): A study published in the Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, reveals that COVID-19 can be effectively diagnosed with self-collected saliva samples that are capable of detecting SARS-CoV-2 genetic material in a rate similar to that of nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs.
The rate of detection using saliva samples was similar across different testing platforms, and saliva samples remained stable for up to 24 hours when stored with ice packs or at room temperature, according to a new study by Elsevier.Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK).
