The three saliva samples are to be taken 30 minutes apart in the morning. The exact procedure can be found in the enclosed instructions.

On the day of sample collection, the following points should be noted:

• Take the saliva sample before or at least 30 minutes after brushing teeth
• Do not mix the saliva with blood (e.g., from bleeding gums) and do not use mouthwash
• Rinse mouth with clean water before taking the sample and wait until saliva flow has normalised
• Do not eat or drink before or during collection of the saliva sample, as food may contain hormones which may skew the results
