  • Q. How are samples collected (how does this test work)?
  • A. Samples are collected via cheek swabs. Cheek swabs are convenient and safe for participants of any age, including infants.

    Each participant should use three (3) swabs and place the swabs in the specimen envelope provided, noting the person's name, date of birth, race description, and (if applicable) their relationship to the other participants. Each envelope needs a consent signature that matches the name provided for each of the participants, and/or a legal guardian consent signature for anyone under age 18.
