Saliva-based testing offers several advantages over other types of testing:
Non-invasive: Unlike blood tests, saliva collection is non-invasive and painless, making it more acceptable to patients and subjects. Ease of Collection: Saliva samples can be collected quickly and easily without the need for specialized facilities or trained personnel. Rapid Results: The processing time for saliva tests is generally faster, allowing for prompt decision-making. Detection Window: Saliva testing can detect substances shortly after use, which is particularly useful in situations requiring immediate assessment. Reduced Risk of Tampering: Saliva collection is typically observed, reducing the risk of sample adulteration or substitution.
