Please follow these steps carefully to ensure accurate results:
Before Collection
- Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum for at least 30 minutes before collecting the sample.
Swab Collection
- Open the package of the sterile swab.
- Remove the swab by holding the plastic stick—do not touch the fabric tip.
- Insert the swab into your mouth.
- Rub the fabric tip firmly against the inside of one cheek 10 times.
- Repeat this step on the other cheek.
- Avoid contact with your teeth, tongue, or gums during the process.
Sample Storage
- Unscrew the cap of the transport tube.
- Insert the swab into the tube.
- Break the stick at the marked point so the swab fits completely.
- Close the tube tightly and securely.
✅ Ensure the cap is properly closed to avoid contamination or leakage.
