How to make your DNA sampling kit
1. You will require 4 sterile cotton-tipped swabs/oral buccal swabs for each participant. These can be purchased from a pharmacy. If the swab has 2 cotton ends be sure to cut one of them off before starting the sample collection procedure. It is important to avoid touching the cotton end with your fingers.
2. You will also require paper envelopes in which to place the cotton swabs after samples have been collected (one envelope for each participant).
