Hi,
    It may be a different product as Lisa has but for the same basic
reason as
Eileen stated we tried to get a diastase kit from Poly Scientific. At
the bottom
of the protocol it came with it stated, to activate the diastase add
human
saliva. We gave up and went back to the spitoon. We use this @ 35-40 deg
centigrade.
kind of defeated the purpose eh,

ps: if you are using saliva, don't eat a lollipop or drink HiC fruit
juice just
before doing the stain. Yes, I do know from personal experience! Stop
laughing
:-)
