Collection precautions
Precautions: Tube contains liquid. Do NOT spill. This liquid preserves the DNA sample and is required by the lab to analyze your sample.
Attention: Do NOT remove the cap prior to sample collection.
Place the sponge in animal's mouth at the cheek pouch as shown in figure. Collect saliva for 30 seconds by moving sponge and mopping saliva where it naturally pools (in the cheek pouch and under the tongue). For animals older than 6 months, moderate restraint may be required.
Hold the tube upright and unscrew the cap from the tube.
Turn the cap upside down and place the oral swab in the tube. Screw cap on tightly to prevent liquid sample from leaking during transport.
Invert and shake the tube vigorously 10 times to thoroughly mix sample.
Optional: using a permanent marker, clearly write the animal identification number on the white space available on the tube label.
