The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given an emergency use authorization (EUA) to Thermo Fisher Scientific's new saliva sample collection method for COVID-19 testing.
Saliva samples collected with the Spectrum Solutions SpectrumDNA SDNA-1000 collection device can be used for COVID-19 testing on the Amplitude Solution. These devices are self-contained systems that provide sample consistency and long-term stability while protecting DNA and RNA transcripts post-collection to help ensure accurate test results with only two milliliters of saliva.
The Amplitude Solution gives laboratories the ability to scale COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing and process up to 8,000 samples in a single day.
