I will be conducting the experiment, is a Dogs mouth cleaner than a humans 
mouth and wanted to know if in the process of collecting the samples from the 
dogs, how can I properly preserve them for a few hours or even up to 24 hours 
before getting them home to apply to the Ager?  Or would it have to be done 
immediately after?
