Step 1:
Label the sample
collection envelopes.
Take out the envelope marked with the title of
the first person to be collected (for example,
‘Alleged Father’ or ‘Child’).
Fill out the envelope with the information about
that tested party. Be sure to provide all the
information requested on the sample collection
envelope.

Step 2: Collect
cheek cells using the swabs provided and place
the used swabs in the paper envelopes.
Eastern Biotech supplies a packet of 2 swabs for
each person to be tested: 1 swab should be used
on the person’s left cheek and 1 swab should be
used on the right cheek.
Follow
these steps when swabbing each tested party:
- Open the swab packet at the end opposite
from the swabs.
- Remove one swab from the packet. Be careful
not to touch the end of the brush.
- Insert the swab into the person’s mouth
and rub it briskly against the inside of one
cheek for 5-10 strokes. Rotate the swab whilst
rubbing it back and forth and up and down.
Do not rub the same spot over and over.
- Place the used swab back into the paper
envelope.
- Repeat the collection process with the
remaining swab on the opposite cheek.
- When all swabs have been collected and
placed in the sample collection envelope,
seal the envelope.

Step 3:
Arrange collection
of samples by courier.
After all the tested parties have been collected,
put their sample collection envelopes back in
the bigger envelope.
Next, complete and sign the Client Information
Form. This form is where you indicate how you
would like to pay for the test and receive your
results.
Place the kit and the Client Information Form
inside the reply envelope. Seal the envelope securely
and contact us for collection
by the courier.
