Buccal Swab Procedure

The buccal swab involves collecting cells from the inside of your cheek using a sterile swab. This method is preferred due to its simplicity and effectiveness. The swab is then securely sealed in a collection tube, ensuring the integrity of the sample.

Ensuring Sample Integrity

Maintaining the quality of the DNA sample is of utmost importance. We adhere to strict protocols to prevent contamination and ensure the highest accuracy in test results. Each sample is labeled and documented meticulously.
