Stability and durability of salivary alpha-amylase across different storage conditions
Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..
Data collection in remote and field settings gains importance and popularity in stress research. Accordingly, existing stress induction paradigms have been successfully adapted to remote and field settings. However, guidelines for the comprehensive assessment of biomarkers such as salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) have yet to be sufficiently established for such contexts. In remote and field settings, swift freezing of saliva samples is not always possible, and samples must be returned to the laboratory for further processing. The current study investigated the robustness of sAA activity against external factors that may affect measurements obtained from saliva samples collected in field and remote settings. We compared sAA activity of samples that were stored in different vials (Salivettes® and Eppendorf® vials) and that were exposed to (1) up to three cycles of freezing and thawing, (2) different temperatures (4 °C, 20 °C, 30 °C, and 40 °C) for 3, 7, 14, or 28 days, or that were (3) sent via postal delivery. Results indicate sAA activity to be susceptible across different temperatures, different time intervals, and different vials. As a systematic pattern, sAA activity seems to decrease in treated samples with this effect being potentiated by more extreme conditions such as higher temperatures and longer time intervals. To conclude, sAA data collected in remote or field settings could be affected systematically by various external variables. Future studies collecting sAA should take factors influencing the durability and stability of sAA into account to ensure reliable and valid measurements of salivary data.
