How to do antigen saliva test kit
To use the COVID-19 saliva test kit, simply follow the instructions in the package insert.
Before performing the saliva test Lollipop, it’s important to observe the following precautions:
- Do not place anything in the mouth (food, drinks, chewing gum, tobacco products) for at least 10 minutes before testing
- Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water (for at least 20 seconds) or use a hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol.
- Deeply cough 3-5 times
This saliva test kit can be performed following two different methods.
METHOD 1
- Remove the cap from the device.
- Insert the sponge into the mouth and swab around the gums (10-15 times) and then place the absorbent wick under the tongue (to collect saliva) until a flow begins to be visible in the test window (approximately 2 minutes).
- Take it out and closed the device cap. Then place it on a flat and level surface.
- After 15 minutes, read the result.
METHOD 2
- Collect enough fresh saliva specimen (at least 0.5 ml) in a disposable cup.
- Remove the cap from the device.
- Place the absorbent wick into the saliva specimens and let it absorb until the flow appears in the test window.
- Closed the device cap and place it on a flat and level surface.
- Read the result (after 15 minutes).

- Invalid: the control line (C) does not appear.
In case of a positive result, contact your doctor and follow local COVID-19 guidelines/regulations.
Saliva rapid test accuracy
A clinical evaluation was conducted by comparing the results obtained using the saliva test kit Lollipop with those obtained by performing a molecular one (RT-PCR). These results demonstrated a specificity of 99.7% and a sensitivity of 99.0% with a total accuracy of 99.6%.
The COVID-19 saliva test Lollipop is very simple to use and can be used on adults, teens and children who have symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 or believe they have been in contact with a positive person.
Unlike the nasal swab, this device detects COVID-19 antigens in human saliva samples
The saliva test can be performed at any time of the day; however, it is recommended to collect the first saliva in the morning
Tests for children and adolescents should be use with an adult.
