Their non-invasive DNA kits are easy to use! Inside the kit, you will find two vials with cotton swabs. Take a cotton swab, rub the inside of one of your cheeks for 45 seconds and seal the vial. Repeat the process with the remaining cotton swab on the inside of your other cheek. That's it! A courier will conveniently collect your DNA sample at your door and you will get your results within 6-8 weeks.
