Types of specimen collection options varies based on the test requested. The most frequent option is the cheek (buccal) swabs which is a painless and non-invasive method. Legal(chain of custody) test specimens are collected in our patient care center by a trained medical technician. Private (non-chain of custody) test specimens are collected by the tested parties in the privacy of their home. Please choose the type of testing carefully based on your specific need to avoid having to order a retest in the future.
