Mouth Swab DNA Test Kit

Components:

Nylon flocked Swab: 2 pcs

Sample Preservation Solution: 2 pcs

Label Stickers: 4 pcs

Return Bag: 1 pc

Steps to Use the DNA Collection Kit

Step 1:

After confirming that the packaging of the nylon flocked swab is not broken, tear it from the seal and gently remove the mouth swab from the bag, taking care that the DNA swab tip should not touch objects other than the inner wall of the mouth (buccal) to avoid contamination.

Step 2:

Extend the buccal swab into one side of the oral cavity and scrape up and down the inner mucosa 5-10 times, keeping the force moderate enough to press against the inner mucosa of the oral cavity to ensure that the DNA swab tip is dipped into the oral mucosal exfoliated cells at all places. Then use a new mouth swab according to the same method on the other side of the oral cavity wall for sample collection.

Step 3:

Place the DNA swab stained with oral exfoliated cells into the sample preservation tube, break the swab stem and tighten the cap. Then shake the biopreservation solution up and down to mix the sample and preservation solution thoroughly.

Step 4:

Fill out the return shipping bag with complete information, place the barcode on the sampling tube cap where it meets the tube, and place them in.

Precautions

Please rinse your mouth with water before sampling to remove food residues from your mouth (please do not use mouthwash to rinse your mouth).

Do not eat, smoke, drink alcohol, etc., 30 minutes before sampling.
