- Reliable and cost-effective
- Non-invasive, user-friendly, convenient sample collection & preservation in a single tube system
- Preserved exosomes are stable for 2 years at ambient temperature
- Shipping accessories can be purchased separately

- RNA can be isolated from the purified exosomes using Norgen's Exosome RNA Purification kit (Cat. 58000)
Norgen’s Saliva Exosome Collection and Preservation Kit is an all-in-one solution designed for 1) simple and non-invasive saliva collection; 2) preservation of exosomes in saliva samples at ambient temperature; and 3) isolation of high quality intact exosomes and exosomal RNA within a laboratory setting. The Saliva Exosome Collection, Preservation and Isolation Kit contains 50 Individual Saliva Exosome Collection and Preservation Devices. Each of the 50 individual Saliva Exosome Collection and Preservation Devices consists of 3 components:
- Saliva Collection Funnel and Collection Tube that contains Norgen’s Preservative in a dried format
- Collection Tube Cap
- ID Label
Saliva samples are collected by spitting inside the Collection Funnel which has been assembled with the Collection Tube. After collecting the required volume of saliva the Collection Funnel is removed, the Collection Tube is securely capped with Collection Tube Cap. The collected saliva is mixed by gentle inversion for several times till the saliva colour changes into yellow. The Saliva Collection Tube is subsequently sent to the laboratory for the purification of intact exosomes and for the subsequent isolation and analysis of saliva exosomal RNA. The saliva exosomes in preserved samples are stable for 2 years at room temperature.
