anal2.3. Evaluation of the saliva swab screening application
Three experimental series were performed in order to evaluate
the usability of the developed saliva swab screening application.
First, the sensitivity was studied by screening swabs with different
amounts of saliva and different amylase activity levels. Second, the
effect of the screening on DNA recovery was investigated. Third, a
study with saliva on glass bottles was performed, in order to test
the screening tool in a ‘‘crime scene like’’ environment
