New saliva testing robot installed at Anglia Ruskin

Salimetrics' joint venture partner Anglia Ruskin University has completed the investment of £150,000 in new equipment to improve its saliva testing service - the fast-developing and minimally invasive alternative to blood testing for the monitoring of salivary biomarkers.

One good example for this technology would be research into stress, anxiety and depression which are a part of everyday life. This latest technology is helping to advance the testing service, which is now being offered, using the latest available equipment. 

The testing platform can handle up to 600 saliva samples a day and uses a scanner for barcode recognition, software for tracking, database integration and printing, offering full automation of the whole process.

The joint venture is using a Tecan liquid handling platform to automate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis of a range of biomarkers utilizing Salimetrics technology to test a wide range of Salivary Biomarkers including: Alpha Amylase, Androstenedione, Blood Contamination, Cortisol, Cotinine, C-Reactive Protein, DHEA, DHEA-S, Estradiol, Estriol, Estrone, Progesterone, 17 alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone, Secretory IgA, Testosterone.

Salimetrics supports thousands of salivary researchers, in more than 20 countries around the world. Salimetrics assays have been used in more saliva-related published papers than any other assay in the field and our customer support staff is unparalleled.
