DNA Ancestry Test Kit
Ancestry DNA test kit consists of three swab kits---designed for
a single person's use. Each tube contains a fluid designed to arrest
bacterial growth, so you can scrape your cheek and return your kit
in any type of weather (hot or cold). The freshness of your sample
will remain intact for months.
 The
prior collection standard of the industry was the dry preservation
method, which worked without the fluid, but in humid climates, was
prone to bacterial growth on the scraper tip. Family Tree DNA [FTDNA]
enjoys an international clientele; therefore, we have chosen to
use a universal collection kit.
You will notice the cotton 'toothed' tip at the end of the scraper.
The sensation of using our scraper is like brushing your inside
cheek with your toothbrush. Remember, a good scrape produces lots
of DNA, which makes the extraction process easier and decreases
the chance that one or more of your markers will fail to be readable
on the first test of your sample.
Your kit also includes instructions for collecting your DNA sample
(available in many languages) and the all important Release Form.
The Release
Form is your written consent that allows FTDNA to share your
name and email address with someone who matches your genetic fingerprint
exactly. We call these matches "Genetic Cousins ™", and
they represent one of the most exciting parts of the Family Tree
DNA system!
Sample Collection Procedure
- Collect the sample before eating or at least
one hour after eating or drinking, and avoid hot fluid before
scraping.
- Wash your hands and open the plastic wrapper without damaging
the scraper.
- Insert the scraper in the inner part of the cheek (buccal
area.)
- Scrape with the brush for one minute, rotating it until
some saliva and cells are collected.
- Carefully insert the scraper into the small bottle provided.
- Press the tip of the scraper against the side of the bottle
and automatically the end of the scraper will separate and
drop into the bottle. Close the lid tightly.
- Repeat the same with the other scraper on the opposite
cheek.
- Appropriately fill in the form provided, especially your
contact details, your correct email address and telephone
number.
- Once completed, if resident in Dubai, please contact us on 04 4503875 or email info@easternbiotech.com to arrange courier pick up or please return sample to the address provided on envelope, if outside of UAE.
