A Buccal Swab DNA Test Kit is a home-use kit that allows individuals to collect a DNA sample from the cells inside their mouth or cheek (buccal) area. This is typically done using a cotton swab or a small brush that is rubbed against the inside of the cheek to collect cells. The collected sample is then sent back to a laboratory for DNA extraction and analysis.
The test can be used for various purposes such as paternity testing, genealogical research, or identifying potential genetic disorders. It is a non-invasive method of collecting DNA and is as accurate as a blood test. However, the quality of the sample may be affected by factors like eating, drinking or smoking prior to the test.

The process of collecting a buccal swab sample involves several steps:
- The subject should avoid eating, drinking products 30 minutes prior to collection.
- The collector should wash or sanitize their hands, and then put on personal protective equipment like gloves and a mask.
- The collector carefully removes the swab from its package, being sure not to touch the swab tip with their gloves or against any surfaces.
- The subject opens their mouth and the collector rubs and rotates the swab along the inside of the cheek for 5-10 seconds, ensuring that the entire swab tip has made contact with the cheek.
- The process is repeated on the other side of the mouth with the same swab.
- The swab is then removed, being careful not to touch the swab tip against the teeth, lips, or other surfaces.
- The swab should be allowed to air dry before it is placed in a closed container for storage.
- The tube or envelope containing the swab is labeled with identifying information, sealed, and stored at room temperature or transferred to the freezer until testing
