Multiple issues orphan February 2009 notability September 2010 Salivary diagnostics or Salivaomics is a Procedure term procedure for testing and maintaining the data for Diagnosis diagnostic purposes . Saliva based hand held sensors are used to detect and measure proteins and nucleic acids that are present in saliva for diagnosis. Salivary diagnostic technology is showing promise in the detection and monitoring malignancies at early stage and other various health concerns. The advantages of salivary diagnostics includes ease of collection, elimination of fear of needles, inexpensive testing and reduce risk of disease transmission between healthcare workers and patients. In addition, salivary diagnostic is fast, highly sensitive and specific, portable, user friendly and can screen for multiple agents simultaneously contributing in determining the scope of toxin exposure, thereby providing a quicker fight and diagnosis in the event of pandemic , epidemic and bioterrorism .

The largest duct, the sublingual duct of Bartholin joins the submandibular duct to drain through the sublingual caruncle . The sublingual gland consists mostly of Mucous acini capped with serous demilunes and is therefore categorized as a mucous gland. Most of the remaining small sublingual ducts open separately into the mouth on an elevated crest of mucous membrane, the plica fimbriata , formed by the gland and located on either side of the frenulum linguae .
