SalivaTech Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, Representative Director: Makoto Sunamura, hereinafter "SalivaTech") will begin sales of a new testing kit for its saliva-based cancer risk test, "SalivaChecker®," which enables **room temperature storage and mail-in returns**, starting today, April 1, 2026.
This renewal significantly reduces the preparation and delivery effort associated with testing, providing an environment where everyone can naturally check their health status in their daily lives.
## Background: From 'Special Event' to 'Daily Habit'
Many people in their 40s and beyond, as cancer risk increases, feel the importance of testing but often postpone **receiving health check-ups and cancer screenings, or taking concrete actions to care for their own bodies** due to daily busyness and cumbersome procedures.
SalivaTech believes that "lowering the barrier to testing is the first step towards early detection," and through technological innovation, has achieved both "room temperature storage" and "mail-in returns." This realizes a new form of testing that is accessible to everyone, regardless of lifestyle.
## Features of the New Kit and Benefits for Test Takers
1. **'Room Temperature Compatible' for flexible storage locations**
Collected saliva can be stored at room temperature until return. There is no need to secure freezer space, and after the kit arrives, you can relax and perform the test at **the optimal timing according to your schedule and physical condition (preparation such as meal restrictions the day before)**.
2. **Completion by simply dropping it in a mailbox**
No need to arrange collection by a delivery company or conduct face-to-face handovers. Simply dropping it in a mailbox while out for a walk or shopping completes the testing process. This simplicity removes the psychological and time barriers that deterred testing.
3. **Self-care for health with a low-burden 'saliva test'**
Saliva collection is painless and has extremely little burden on the body. This characteristic makes it easy to incorporate into a regular routine.
