Please read ALL the instructions carefully before collection. Results might be affected if not collected properly.
1
Please rinse your mouth with cold water before you begin collecting the sample and then swallow to remove excess saliva.
2
Open one swab at a time and collect the sample from the mouth by rubbing the swab on the inside of your cheek about 20 times or for 15-20 seconds in a circular motion. Swab firmly but gently so that the cheek is pushed outward.
3
Dry the swab by shaking it in the air for 10-20 seconds.
4
Place the dried swab back in its original sleeve.
5
Use the other cheek for the next swabs. Repeat the same process for the rest of the swabs. Collect sample on all swabs.
6
Place the swab sleeves containing the dry swabs and Requisition Form in the envelope included in the kit.
