Blood collection is prone to pain and complex operation. Collecting human oral DNA is a safer way to collect DNA samples and therefore is widely accepted and very convenient for forensic identification.

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.

The specific items you want to test need to be decided according to your personal needs. The genetic sampling kit is used for genetic sampling before the test, so you can complete the collection of genes independently. DNA testing can help us prevent disease and give us a longer, healthier life.

Who is suitable for genetic testing?

• Those who have family history of disease and want to prevent it
• Those who have bad living habits and worry about cancer
• Those who have been exposed to chemical pollution, heavy metal pollution, nuclear pollution and exposure to toxic and harmful substances for a long time
• People who are concerned about physical health.
• People who are concerned about the growth of their children
• People who are concerned about intellectual development

What is the purpose of DNA testing?

The purpose of genetic testing is to “know early and prevent early” so that diseases that are likely to occur, especially hereditary diseases, do not appear. For example, the incidence of malignant tumors is gradually increasing, but the treatment effect is poor. After identifying genes that predispose to diseases such as malignant tumors, a scientific health assessment can be conducted and the best health care methods and lifestyle can be developed to avoid and prevent the occurrence of these major diseases as much as possible.

How to use the DNA Sampling Kit

Record the name of the subject and the test to see if they have heavy mouth ulcers or bronchial disease. If the subject has these conditions, taking a mouth swab for DNA collection is not recommended.

The subject is required to rinse his or her mouth with water three times and wait patiently for 30 minutes after the mouth is cleaned, without eating, drinking, smoking, or chewing gum.

After 30 minutes, check that the collection kit packaging is not broken and replace it if there is any damage.

The sampling kit will be given to the subject with the introduction of the genetic test, product classification instructions, specimen collection instructions, and other information (for minors, please leave it to parents to manage).

Attach barcodes to the genetic test save the card, information collection form, specimen tubes and return boxes, and give the save card with the barcode to the test subject for future report inquiries.

Have the subject or parent confirm that the personal information is correct and sign.
