SelfDecode DNA Collection: Cheek Swab or Saliva?
SelfDecode uses state-of-the-art buccal (cheek) swab DNA test kits for most customers worldwide. These kits are designed for accuracy, ease, and comfort — offering a hassle-free, non-invasive collection process.
Each kit includes sterile, soft-tip swabs that gently collect DNA-rich cells from the inside of your cheek. This method is:
- Highly reliable for DNA extraction.
- Simple and painless, with no spitting or fluid measurement required.
- Ideal for all ages, including children and those who may have difficulty providing a saliva sample.
Whether you’re completing your test at home or in a professional setting, our cheek swab kits offer a seamless collection experience and lab-grade results.
🧪 What if I received a saliva-based kit?
If your order was placed before August 1, 2024, and you live outside the United States, you may have received one of our earlier saliva-based collection kits. These kits are also accurate but require a different collection method.
You can find full instructions for both saliva and cheek swab kits here:
