Instructions for sample collection

That's how easy our test kits are to use.

Before sampling

  • Remove supragingival plaque and dry the sampling point (not professional tooth cleaning).
  • Please note that extensive bleeding and/or pus discharge can falsify the analysis result.
  • The use of antibacterial mouthwash solutions immediately before sampling should be avoided.
