    How It Works

                                 
                         
           

    Collecting saliva: Actively swab around the cheeks, gums, and under the tongue for 30-60 seconds until the cotton swab is thoroughly saturated.

     

    Filling the capillary: Place the Q.E.D.® test on a flat surface. Gently twist the collector into the entry port. Apply gentle steady pressure until the pink fluid passes the QA Spot at the end of the device.

      Interpreting test results: Allow two (2) minutes for the Q.E.D. A150 test to develop. The QA spot must be dark purple to indicate a valid test. If the same color forms a bar within the measurement scale, read the highest point. Ignore bubbles.
