Our swabs are simple to use for the collection of DNA.
If you have our BLUE swabs then you need to:
- Remove the blue brush swabs from the packet without touching the brush end.
- Rub the brush around the inside of the cheek. The aim is to collect cheek cells from your animal so you really do have to give it a good rub.
- Return the brush swab to it's packet (the one with the barcode sticker).
- The barcode/swab number for the Blue swab is on stickers placed on both swab packets.
If you have one of our RED swabs then you need to:
- Open the swab without touching the flocked cotton tip.
- Rub the cotton tip around the inside of the cheek. The aim is to collect cheek cells from your dog so you really do have to give it a good rub.
- The barcode/swab number for the RED swab is horizontally on the barcode sticker and will look like PGL-XXX-XXX-XXX.
If you have one of our GREEN swabs then please see the video below.
