Yes! Collecting a DNA sample is quick, simple, and only takes a few minutes. The process uses soft, painless cheek swabs, which are included in your Journey Genetic Testing DNA Collection Kit.
You can easily do the collection yourself at home*. Here’s why cheek swabs are the best choice for DNA testing:
🔹 Easy & Non-Invasive – Collecting DNA with a cheek swab is completely painless. You simply rub the soft swab inside your cheek to gather cells—no needles or discomfort involved!
🔹 Convenient – The swabs are small, easy to handle, and require no special tools or training. You can collect the sample at home or have it done in a lab if needed.
🔹 Painless Process – Since the inside of your cheek has little sensitivity, using a swab to collect DNA doesn’t hurt or cause irritation.
🔹 Safe for Shipping – As long as the swabs are completely dry before mailing, they are easy to store and transport without damage.
Your Journey Genetic Testing Kit includes everything you need for collection, with two cheek swabs per person. For detailed swab collection instructions, [click here].
