When collecting an oral fluid specimen with the Oral-Eze Collection Device, I noticed a small amount of blood on the collection pad. Is this normal?

Although this is not common, it may occur in some individuals and should not adversely affect the specimen collected.

Will recent oral surgery (root canals, extractions, etc.) or sutures make a difference in the drug screening results from the Oral-Eze Collection Device?

We recommend that you avoid the use of this device if you have exposed nerves from an oral procedure.

Is it safe to put the Oral-Eze Collection device pad in my mouth?

Yes, the pad is a cotton-fiber paper that has not been treated with any salts or flavorings. As a result, the oral fluid collector does not have a salty or citric taste.

How long is the oral fluid specimen stable after it has been collected with the Oral-Eze Collection Device?

The specimens are stable for 21 days at room temperature (21-25°C) after collection, and are stable for at least one year when stored frozen.

How long does it take to collect an oral fluid sample with Oral-Eze Collection Devices?

The Oral-Eze collection is complete when the indicator window turns blue, typically around 3-5 minutes or up to 10 minutes.

What is the liquid in the collection vial of the Oral-Eze Oral Fluid collection Device?

The liquid is a preservative buffer that stabilizes the oral fluid sample and helps prevent the sample and drugs/metabolites from deteriorating during storage or shipping to the laboratory.
