Istruzioni per la raccolta del campione buccale

La raccolta di un campione buccale è un modo semplice e non invasivo per ottenere il DNA per i test genetici. Le cellule buccali si trovano all'interno della guancia e possono essere facilmente raccolte utilizzando un tampone. In questo articolo, forniremo istruzioni dettagliate per la raccolta di un campione buccale.

Materiale necessario:

– Tamponi buccali (these can be obtained from a genetic testing company or purchased online)
– Tubo di raccolta (provided by the genetic testing company)
– Guanti (opzionale)

Istruzioni:

• Wash your hands thoroughly before starting the collection process. If you are wearing gloves, make sure they are clean and free of any contaminants.
• Your collection kit should contain a swab and a tube with a cap. Open the kit carefully, making sure not to touch the swab or the inside of the tube.
• Open the tube. Set the cap down with the inside facing up. Set the tube down so it’s standing upright.
• Peel the package back and grab the stick in the middle with your fingers to remove the buccal swab from the package. It’s important that you don’t touch the end of the swab stick so you don’t spread any of your DNA there.
• Place the swab tip in your mouth and rub the side of your inner cheek about 6 volte.
• Take the swab out of your mouth.
• Place the swab tip into the opened tube. Push on the back end of the swab stick so the swab tip comes off. Make sure if falls into the tube. Rimettere il tappo sul tubo.
• Your healthcare provider will take your sample and send it to the lab.

Suggerimenti:

• Avoid eating, potabile, o fumare almeno per 30 minutes before collecting the sample to prevent contamination.
• If the person being tested has braces or other dental appliances, be careful not to collect any material from these areas as it may affect the accuracy of the results.
