Abstract

An improved method for determining the presence of an analyte in an oral fluid sample. In the method, a reaction mixture is produced containing at least a portion of the collected sample and a chromogenic substrate effective to produce a colored product upon reaction with amylase present in the sample. After a selected reaction time, the reaction medium is inspected to determine the level of colored product produced in the medium within the selected reaction time. Production of colored product above a preselected threshold level within the selected reaction time indicates that an effective volume of undiluted saliva sample has been collected sufficient to allow detection of the analyte. The invention also includes a device for use in the method.

Claims (8)

1. In a method of determining the presence of an analyte in an oral fluid sample, wherein a volume of sample is collected from the mouth of a human subject for testing in an analyte assay, the improvement comprising:
producing a reaction mixture containing at least a portion of the collected sample and a chromogenic substrate effective to produce a colored product upon reaction with amylase present in the sample, and after a selected reaction time, inspecting the reaction mixture to determine the level of colored product produced in the mixture within the selected reaction time, wherein production of colored product above a preselected threshold level within said reaction time indicates that an effective volume of undiluted saliva sample has been collected sufficient to allow detection of the analyte in said assay.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said sample is collected in an absorbent pad, and said producing includes submerging the pad containing absorbed sample fluid in a vessel having a known volume of reaction medium containing said amylase substrate.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the chromogenic substrate is localized on a collection device which includes (i) an absorbent pad for collecting oral fluid when the pad is placed in the subject's mouth, (ii) a reaction region containing said substrate, which is located downstream from the pad on the device, and (iii) a detection region located downstream from the reaction region, wherein said inspecting is performed after fluid reaches said detection region.
4. The method of any of claims 1 to 3, wherein said analyte is an immunoglobulin specific for a pathogen selected from the group consisting of HIV-1, HIV-2, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, and rubella.
5. The method of any of claims 1 to 3, wherein production of colored product above the preselected threshold level indicates a total immunoglobulin concentration in the sample of at least 1 µg/mL.
6. The method of any of claims 1 to 3, wherein said analyte is selected from the group consisting of cocaine, benzoylegonine, cotinine, amphetamine, and methamphetamine.
7. The method of any of claims 1 to 3, wherein the colored reaction product is chloro-nitrophenol.
8. A device for obtaining oral fluid from a human subject to test for the presence of a selected analyte in the collected oral fluid, said device comprising:
(i) an absorbent pad for collecting oral fluid when placed in a subject's mouth, and (ii) reagent means for producing a threshold level of a colored product, when oral fluid obtained from the absorbent pad is contacted with the reagent means for a selected reaction time, to indicate that an effective volume of undiluted saliva sample has been collected that is sufficient to allow detection of the analyte in said assay, wherein said reagent means includes a chromogenic amylase substrate localized in a reaction region downstream from the absorbent pad, for receiving oral fluid collected in the pad, and a detection region downstream from the reaction region on the device, said reaction and detection regions being spaced apart such that migration of oral fluid from the reaction region to the detection region occurs over said selected reaction time.
