What method of sample collection is done at my appointment?
Cheek swab samples are the industry standard method of collection. The swab is placed inside the mouth and brushed against the left and right cheek for 30 seconds or more. Blood is also a viable option. It is an invasive and painful collection method with the same accuracy as cheek swabs.
Alternative Samples:
When cheek swab collections are not possible, forensic samples like hair follicle samples are an effective alternative to help prove a biological relationship.
