Why Genetrack - Safe Collection Methods

Buccal Swab Collection

Buccal swab collection is the new international standard for the collection of samples for DNA testing, replacing the older method of drawing blood. Buccal swab collection is quick simple and painless. The sample is collected by rubbing swabs gently inside the mouth against the cheek for 10 seconds. It’s as easy as brushing your teeth! Buccal swab collection can be performed on individuals of all ages, even newborns.

Blood Collection

Blood collection is the traditional method for sample collection and has mostly been replaced by the modern buccal swab collection technique. However, some clients occasionally prefer the blood collection option. The blood collection option is automatically available to clients at no extra charge. To specify blood collection, simple state "blood collection preferred" in the comments box of the online order form and the blood collection kit will be sent to you instead of the buccal swab kit. All instructions are provided in the kit. Whether it’s blood or buccal swab, specimen collection is quick and simple.
