Collect and send is discreet, fast and accurate method for you to collect DNA samples for testing.  You can collect the samples using ordinary swabs or Q-tips, they DO NOT have to be sterile. You can use the same Q-tips used to clean your ears.

The swabs DO NOT have to be sterile.  They do not have to be sterile because you are going to rub the swab on the inside of the mouth to collect the DNA, the mouth is loaded with bacteria, therefore, sterile swabs add no value.  The swabs need to be stored dry, you must put them in a paper envelope, DO NOT use a plastic bag.  DNA is stable for a long period of time stored dry, stored wet in a plastic bag the samples will only last a couple of days.

However. if you feel more comfortable using a more professional collection we still offer them.

Faster processing time, no mailing back and forth.

Discreet, no kit is sent to your home.

Step 1:  We want two Q-tips or swabs for each person being tested.  It is best to use one swab on the right side and the other swab on the left side of the inside of the cheek.    Do not touch the tip of the Q-tip.   Scrape and rotate the swab on the inside of the cheek, approximately, 5-10 seconds on each side.  Repeat the process with the other swab on the other side of the mouth.  For example if you used one swab on the left side use the other swab on the right side.  Step 2:  Since a Q-Tip swab has two ends, cut the head of the swab off so that the part that was in the mouth falls off into a paper envelope (DO NOT USE PLASTIC BAGS).  Both the left and the right swab can go into the same paper envelope.  You do not need to label the envelope left or right the DNA is identical for both swaps, we just want to sources of DNA in case one fails.  Step 3:  Label the paper envelope father or child depending upon the sample.  Both the left and right swab from the same individual go into an envelope marked child and both the left and right swab go into separate paper envelope marked father. Step 4:  You will need two (2) first-class stamps to mail the envelope.  Do not forget to include payment with your DNA sample along with the Collect and Send Submission Form so we know how to contact you once the test is completed.
