“…If these samples were subsequently shown to be negative on confirmatory testing of oral fluid using another assay, specificity of the test would have increased marginally but would not alter the overall results significantly. The suboptimal results may reflect the lower levels of HBsAg in oral fluid compared to serum, and the lack of standard cut‐off absorbance values . In addition, many samples were of insufficient volume to perform the immunoassay and required the addition of saline which may have diluted the concentration of HBsAg.…”
