Watch this short video on how to complete saliva collection for your Circadian Phase Test BEFORE you begin to prepare yourself for sample collection. You can always refer back to it when you are ready to collect your first sample.

How to Collect Passive Drool Samples

Before you begin, let’s go over the basics of saliva collection.

Saliva Collection Step-by-Step Outline:

1. Open pouch (if applicable) and remove the Saliva Collection Aid (SCA).
2. Place ribbed-end of the SCA securely into a pre-labeled collection tube.
3. Allow saliva to pool in mouth. Then, with head tilted forward, gently guide saliva through the SCA into the tube. DO NOT SPIT/BLOW or otherwise force saliva into the tube. This will create foaming and bubbles.
4. After the tube is filled to the required volume, remove and discard SCA. Attach cap to collection tube and tighten. Store your sample as recommended.

Passive Drool Cautions:

1. Use only as directed; Use each Saliva Collection Aid only once
2. Do not use this device for children under the age of three (3), or without adult supervision

You are now ready to collect saliva for your Circadian Phase Assessment
