Does the buccal swab produce results as similar as those generated using blood samples?
If it's posible!.
DNA is found in any cell of the body, therefore, saliva is a perfect sample for DNA extraction, because it will have the same DNA as blood, a piece of skin, or a piece of liver.
The truth is that the genetic code of a person is exactly the same in all its cells, so whatever the biological sample that is extracted from the same individual, it will not vary.
It is the fundamental choice in the world today, because saliva is easy to take, no invasive method is required such as a puncture, and also, it is less laborious for the laboratory to make it from saliva.
The results that you will obtain from the analysis of the saliva samples are 99.999% effective, therefore, feel comfortable and confident in performing the oral procedure with our laboratories.
The importance of saliva samples
Mouth swabs are another non-invasive way to collect DNA. This is cheaper compared to blood extraction. The collection method is much simpler, because it requires few elements, some homemade. No special certification is necessary, but proper collection procedures are needed. These procedures are often ignored, resulting in ineffective DNA extraction. Therefore, always follow the instructions that we have given you in other articles within our website.
Tips for taking oral samples:
- The patient should not eat or drink anything for at least 1 hour before
- Gently massage the cheeks
- Rub the inside of the cheek at least 20 times per cheek, for each swab.
- Make sure that the cotton swab does not come into contact with any other object or element.
- Store swabs at room temperature.

I’m very impressed! This company has been nothing but a pleasure to deal with from the moment I picked up the phone. I ordered a paternity kit and it was shipped to me after 3 business days. The test was simple and discreet, very easy to take. The results were available after 5 days and I can finally sleep better knowing the truth.

Everything went smoothly. The kit arrived within 2-3 days and instructions were very easy to follow. Results were sent to me within a week’s time. Customer service was great as I called in to place the order. So happy I know the results now!
