Saliva contains a diverse array of locally synthesized and systemic proteins that can act as biomarkers. The characteristics of these salivary biomarkers make them potential candidates for prognostic and diagnostic use. New product launches for saliva collection is anticipated to provide substantial growth in the global saliva collection devices market. For instance, in September 2014, FluidX Ltd., launched FluidX saliva collection kit with Isohelix GeneFix technology. It is designed specifically to store and stabilize DNA within 2ml samples of saliva. Such technology advancements can aid in the growth of the saliva collection devices market.
