“It means we no longer have to put health care professionals at risk for infection by performing nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal collections… We can significantly increase the number of people tested each and every day as self-collection of saliva is quicker and more scalable than swab collections.”

If this can be scaled up quickly, it could enable a significant increase in testing throughput without sacrificing accuracy.
