Sample Collection
For Court Admissible Tests, GenQuest DNA Analysis Laboratory can make
arrangements for sample collection throughout the United States. We will
provide a convenient location, date, and time for your collection. Testing
arrangements can be made by calling GenQuest at 1-877-362-5227. The
standard collection of samples by GenQuest is a safe and reliable procedure
that uses Buccal Swabs. The collection procedure is a painless non-evasive
procedure in which cheek cells are collected on foam tipped applicators and then
transferred to FTA cards (specially treated paper) for transport and testing.
Buccal swabs allow for the collection of newborns, children and adults.
Buccal Swabs are a very efficient method of collecting samples and
seldom require recollection of samples.
Under special circumstances arrangements can be made to use umbilical
cord blood, venous blood, tissues, bone and other body fluids.
In Personal Paternity Screening Tests, collection kits and instructions are
mailed to the individuals involved in the testing. The collections are performed
by the individuals in the privacy of their own homes. The samples are then
mailed back to the laboratory for testing.
