Before your DNA test: rules and requirements
Do:
- Before your appointment, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water to remove any lingering particles or debris. This is especially important if you've recently consumed food or drink.
- For legal or immigration DNA tests, each participant must bring a government-issued ID (e.g., driver's license, passport) or other required documentation. Ensure you have all necessary paperwork ready.
- If a child or infant is being tested, make sure they are calm and rested before the appointment. Bring comfort items, like a favorite toy, to help them stay relaxed during the sample collection.
Do not:
- Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum 1 hour before your appointment.
- Do not use mouthwash, toothpaste, or other oral hygiene products immediately before the test, as they may introduce foreign substances to the sample.
- If you are breastfeeding, do not breastfeed for at least 30–60 minutes before your DNA test.
Good to know:
- Punctuality is important to ensure the test proceeds as planned. If you are unable to make your appointment, contact us in advance to reschedule.
