When we get sick, there is a lot of evidence in our saliva. The germs themselves, the immune system antibodies and proteins that we use to fight them.

Saliva is easy to collect and shows promising progress for detecting Corona. This focuses on lowering barriers to participating in test programmes. The ease with which the test can be administered and the painless sampling is friendly and time-saving for the person undergoing the test.

Saliva is one of our biggest enemies in the COVID-19 pandemic, because of its role in the spread of the virus. Still, saliva can also be a friend, as it may provide a way to diagnose the disease without using invasive nasal swabs.

Saliva reflects our health. Not just in the mouth but in our entire body. For this reason, saliva has been extensively researched as a diagnostic tool for chronic systemic diseases, as well as for oral conditions such as periodontitis and oral cancers.

The standard test is the PCR swab test, in which a swab (swab) is passed through your nose and down the back of your throat. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the gold standard for detecting SARS-CoV-2 (the coronavirus that causes COVID-19). This tests for the genetic material (DNA/RNA) of the virus.

You can request a PCR Saliva test as a consumer, entrepreneur, traveler and as the parent of a child or young person. You can schedule a purchase directly via our online reservation system. Click on the button below for this.

For companies we offer a purchase package that is specifically applicable to the situation and conditions within the company. For this we have regular contact with the contact person or company manager. Also during an outbreak or when contamination is suspected, we are happy to offer the best care through a quick analysis followed by the right advice. Customized care and unburdening, you test at Team Corona Preventief.

For children, youth, vulnerable young people and the elderly, the purchase is specifically adapted to the situation and needs. Personal guidance by our qualified care worker is guaranteed.

A research review, published in the journal Diagnostics, suggests that saliva could be an easy and accessible diagnostic tool for detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) and may even reveal whether the immune system of someone has already encountered the virus.

This study looked at the results of 3 different studies; in Italy, in Hong Kong and in the nearby mainland Chinese city of Shenzhen. All three studies show that SARS-CoV-2 is indeed present in the saliva of COVID-19 patients (87%, 91,6% and 100% of patients, respectively). This suggests that saliva is potentially a very useful source of specimen for detecting the virus.

Saliva is strong and stable. It can be stored at –80℃ for several years with little degradation. This means that it is relatively easy to track the progression of COVID-19 in individual patients, by collecting the saliva at different times during the illness and recovery. Saliva tests from recovered patients could also tell us whether they have experienced the disease a second time and how strong their immune response is.

However, no research is available yet on using saliva to monitor immune responses. This is worth investigating given the urgent need for a reliable and cost-effective way to monitor the population for immunity to COVID-19 as the outbreak continues.

A saliva test to detect corona. That is what professor of microbiology Herman Goossens wants to introduce. To test the elderly in a school or residential care center in the event of a corona outbreak. “It has numerous advantages compared to the nose swab we know today,” says Professor Goossens.
