A buccal swab resembles a Q-tip, only with a longer end. The collector will typically rub the inside of both cheeks with a different swab, swabbing 10-12 times on the inside of each cheek.

A buccal swab is a specialized applicator with a sponge or Dacron tip, which is rubbed on the inside of the check to collect epithelial cells. This procedure is noninvasive and pain free.

A buccal (pronounced ‘buckle’) swab looks like a long cotton bud. The head of the swab is firmer than the head of a regular cotton bud. This enables the surface cells of the cheek to be rubbed off with ease. The swab is found within the actual collection kit.
