Representative measurements of viscosity (N = 3) of untreated whole saliva, and treated with reference and magnet-beating methods at low and high shear rates. The full shear rate range can be seen in Figure 3.

Treatment	Shear rate [1/s]	Mean viscosity [mPa s]	Standard deviation [mPa s]
None	50	10.4	4.1
	3000	1.9	0.3
Reference method	50	2.7	0.8
	3000	1.4	0.1
Magnet-beating	50	2.3	0.9
	3000	1.4	0.1
