About this test

For professional use only

This Rapid Saliva Cortisol Test provides a quick and reliable method to identify cortisol levels in saliva, enabling professionals to monitor fluctuations over time. The test is simple, fast, and highly accurate, with a sensitivity of 50 ng/mL.

Cortisol, also known as the ‘stress hormone’, naturally fluctuates throughout the day, and tracking these variations can provide valuable insights into an individual’s hormonal patterns and overall physiological balance.

Results are available in minutes, supporting timely evaluation and informed decision-making for professional assessments.

How to use this test

Prepare the test

Allow the testing device to reach room temperature (15-30°C) before starting.

Ensure the donor has not consumed food, drink, chewing gum, or tobacco products for at least 10 minutes before collection.

Collect the saliva sample

Remove the protective cap from the testing device.

Ensure the mouth has ample oral fluid pooled for the sample.

Place the absorbent sponge under the tongue for 1 minute until fully saturated.

Then, swab the gums around your mouth 10-15 times.

Observe the flow and time results

Keep the device inserted in the mouth until the flow appears on the cassette. Once the flow begins, remove the device and place it on a flat, clean surface and start timing.

Reading the results and invalid samples

Results must be read between 3 and 10 minutes.

INVALID: No line appears in the control region (C). This may result from insufficient sample or procedural errors. Repeat the test with a new cassette. If the issue continues, discontinue use and contact your local distributor.

Reading a negative result

NEGATIVE: Two colored lines appear—one in the control region (C) and one in the test region (T). This indicates cortisol is below the detectable level. Even a faint line in the test region should be considered negative.

Reading a positive result

POSITIVE: Only one colored line appears in the control region (C), with no line in the test region (T). This indicates that cortisol exceeds the detectable level.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this test used for?

This Rapid Saliva Cortisol Test is designed to measure cortisol levels in saliva quickly and accurately. Cortisol is a key hormone involved in the body’s stress response, metabolism, and overall hormonal balance.

Monitoring cortisol levels can provide valuable insights for the professional evaluation of adrenal function, hormonal fluctuations, and physiological stress.

Do I need to send my sample to a lab?

No, there’s no need to send the sample to a lab. The rapid saliva cortisol test delivers instant results, with no lab analysis required.

Just follow the instructions to collect a saliva sample, and read the results within minutes.

How sensitive is this test?

The test has a sensitivity of 50 ng/mL, which enables accurate detection of cortisol within the saliva sample.

This level of sensitivity ensures reliable differentiation between normal and elevated cortisol concentrations for professional assessment.

Who can use this test?

This test is intended strictly for professional use. It should be performed by trained personnel who are familiar with proper sample collection and handling procedures.

It is not for at-home or casual use, and results should be interpreted in a professional context.

How long does it take to get results?

The test provides results within ten minutes, offering a fast and reliable method to assess cortisol levels.

This rapid turnaround allows professionals to make timely evaluations without the need for complex laboratory equipment.

Can test results be affected by the time of day?

Yes, cortisol levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day, typically peaking in the morning and declining in the evening.

It is important to consider the timing of sample collection when interpreting results, especially when monitoring changes or trends in cortisol levels.

How should saliva samples be collected?

Use the collection device included with the test. Ensure the mouth is clean and free from food, drink, or blood contamination prior to collection.

Follow all instructions for proper sample volume and handling to maintain test accuracy. Proper sample collection is essential for reliable results.

Are there factors that can affect the accuracy of the test?

Yes, several factors can influence test results. Recent food or drink intake, certain medications, oral health issues, or contamination of the saliva sample can impact cortisol measurements.

Environmental factors, such as extreme stress or physical activity immediately before sample collection, may also affect cortisol levels. To ensure accurate results, follow the sample collection instructions carefully and consider these factors when interpreting the data in a professional context.
