The sponge-made device for saliva collection
LolliSponge™ easiness allows saliva collection from non-collaborative patients or when professional assistance is not available, enabling COVID-19 active surveillance programs in fragile communities.
Advantages | \Why saliva?
While nasopharyngeal swabs remain the gold standard for SARS-CoV-2 detection, salivary collection is an attractive alternative: it can be easily collected and demonstrated high detection sensitivity in the infection’s early stages. Compared to sputum, saliva avoids spitting-related risks for healthcare professionals working with contagious patients.
A mouth-watering feature!
The lemon-aromatized cap is a unique feature of LolliSponge®. It provides two advantages: stimulate salivary glands to produce saliva – reducing the time necessary to collect the proper amount of saliva – and make the collection more pleasant for kids.
Processing and applications | Versatile and automatable
LolliSponge® full compatibility with UniVerse® automated handling allows to reduce the manual touchpoints during saliva centrifuge, aliquoting, and mixing.
