Welcome to SalivIQ Diagnostics
Our Mission
To pioneer the development of highly accurate saliva-based diagnostic tests which patients prefer and clinicians can trust.
Test Right, Once
Our Vision
To be the point-of-care diagnostic standard for strep throat infection.
About Us
SalivIQTM Strep A is the only saliva-based diagnostic test for strep throat. With 100% accuracy, follow-up throat cultures are no longer necessary and antibiotics can be prescribed appropriately.



Strep throat is the only form of pharyngitis that requires antibiotics.

Approximately 50% of patients with pharyngitis are prescribed antibiotics, but only 25% need antibiotics.
Millions of patients are being improperly prescribed antibiotics for pharyngitis due to the inaccuracy of rapid strep tests.
The Solution
A saliva-based molecular diagnostic test to accurately and rapidly detect strep throat infection.
- Requires no specialized training to perform
- 100% sensitive, 100% specific
- Rapid diagnosis in as little as 22 minutes

Clinical Study Published in the journal Diagnosis
A total of 102 saliva samples were collected from James Madison University Health Center and run through the SalivIQTM Strep A protocol. Compared to diagnostic standard throat cultures, SalivIQTM Strep A test results were:
100% sensitive
100% specific
100% accurate
Diagnostic Standard
Throat culture is the current diagnostic standard for strep throat infection. SalivIQTM Strep A is the new diagnostic standard.

Why SalivIQ™ Strep A?

Inappropriate antibiotic prescription for pharyngitis in children results in $21.3M excess private health insurance costs annually (cost of antibiotics, adverse drug events, and resultant C. difficile infections).*

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services require acute-care hospitals to implement antibiotic stewardship programs. Accurate diagnostics are critical for the success of these programs.

Non-invasive saliva collection leads to improved patient and family satisfaction.
