About the test
Sample collection kit for two people
The kit is for collecting buccal epithelial samples from two people and preparing them for DNA testing. Samples can be collected at home following the instructions provided.
The kit price does not include laboratory DNA testing. The desired test must be ordered separately.
Simple sample collection
The sample is collected by rubbing the inside of the cheek with the spatula provided in the kit while rotating the tool. For the same person, the same spatula is used for both cheeks. The instructions explain the exact collection, packaging and labelling procedure.
Each person's samples are kept separate
Use a separate, dedicated tool for another person's sample. Label packaged samples clearly so that each participant's samples can be identified.
