Special Instructions

  • Open the Swab package from the opposite end of the swab tip. Peel the package back and grab the stick in the middle with your fingers to remove the swab from the package. It’s important that you don’t touch the end of the swab stick so you don’t spread any of your DNA there.
  • Place the swab tip in your mouth and rub the side of your inner cheek for 30 seconds.
  • Place the swab tip into the envelope. Push on the back end of the swab stick so the swab tip comes off. Make sure it falls into the tube. Put the cap back on the tube.
