How is a sample obtained for processing from the Buccal DNA Collector?
After a buccal sample is collected on the Buccal DNA Collector are small sample is punched or cut out of the filter paper. A normal hole punch can be used. The sample should be punched directly into a micro-titer plate or onto a clean surface where there is no risk of contamination. The sample is then extracted from the paper using the preferred extraction method. Punch sizes can vary depending on the application.
