Description
The Abbott Quantisal Oral Fluid Collection Device standardizes the saliva specimen a laboratory receives, because its collection pad absorbs a consistent 1.0 mL of oral fluid into buffer every time. Lab based programs get an observed, gender neutral collection that donors cannot dilute or substitute on the way to the analyzer.
- Volume – Consistent 1.0 mL oral fluid sample with adequacy indicator
- Collection – Observed and gender neutral, no restroom needed
- Use – Collection, preservation and transport for laboratory drug testing
- Packaging – 25 devices per box
About This Oral Fluid Collection Device
Laboratory oral fluid testing stands or falls on specimen consistency, and this device is built around that requirement. The collection pad gathers oral fluid until the volume adequacy indicator confirms a 1.0 mL sample, then the pad goes into the transport tube with buffer for preservation on the way to the lab. Collection is observed from start to finish, which protects against tampering and adulteration.
Programs choose oral fluid when they want an excellent indication of recent drug use without restroom logistics or artificial stimulants to start saliva flow. The specimen travels at ambient conditions in its sealed tube for screening and confirmation at the laboratory. This listing covers the original Quantisal device with buffer under catalog number QS-0025.

Why Choose This Product
Lab programs cannot rerun a specimen that arrived short or substituted, so collection quality is decided in the field. A metered pad with an adequacy indicator makes every tube that reaches the analyzer a testable one.
- Consistent volume – Every collection targets the same 1.0 mL sample the lab expects
- Tamper resistant – Observed collection removes substitution opportunities
- No restroom logistics – Collections happen anywhere a donor and collector can sit
- Preserved in transit – Buffer in the tube protects the specimen on the way to the lab
Frequently Asked Questions
How much oral fluid does the device collect?
The collection pad gathers 1.0 mL of oral fluid, plus or minus 10 percent, and the volume adequacy indicator shows when that target is reached. The pad is then placed into the buffer tube for transport.
Is collection observed?
Yes. The device is intended for use under observed collections, which protects the specimen from tampering and adulteration. Donors should not eat, drink or smoke for at least 10 minutes before collection, per the manufacturer procedure.
Does this device produce a result on site?
Quantisal devices collect, preserve and transport the specimen rather than testing it. The laboratory performs the screening and confirmation testing after the tube arrives.
What is the difference from Quantisal II?
Quantisal II splits the collection into A and B specimens from a single device for programs that need a second sample. This original device collects one specimen per donor.
Is this genuine Abbott Quantisal stock?
This device is the genuine Abbott Toxicology product under manufacturer catalog number QS-0025. It ships in original manufacturer packaging through the authorized distributor.
