Test Overview & Methodology
The DNA Extraction Service (Buccal Swab / Filter) delivers high-purity, contamination-free genomic DNA isolated from a simple, non-invasive cheek swab or filter substrate. This service is ideal for downstream applications including forensic analysis, paternity determination, ancestry profiling, and personal genomics. Each specimen is processed using automated silica-membrane technology with integrated quality control, ensuring a consistent A260/A280 purity ratio of 1.8–2.0.
| Feature | Our ISO-Certified Service | Conventional Manual Extraction |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Automated Silica-Membrane with QC | Manual Phenol-Chloroform |
| Purity (A260/A280) | 1.8 – 2.0 (optimal range) | Variable, often < 1.7 |
| Turnaround Time | 5 Working Days | 7–10 Working Days |
| Sample Stability | Stabiliser buffer provided for long-term storage | Prone to degradation without stabiliser |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"DNA extraction is the critical first step in your genetic journey. Our process delivers high-integrity template material suitable for a wide range of downstream analyses. I always recommend collaborating with a certified genetic counsellor to interpret any results derived from this material. Your sample is handled with strict confidentiality and clinical rigour."

Advisory: Medication & Clinical Precautions
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. This DNA extraction service is a laboratory processing step; it does not replace professional medical advice or treatment decisions. Always discuss your results with a qualified healthcare provider.
Exclusion Criteria & Safety Red Flags
- Active oral ulcers, severe gingivitis, or recent dental surgery — postpone buccal swab collection until complete healing is confirmed.
- Minor children require written legal guardian consent in accordance with UAE Federal Law; infants require direct supervision during collection.
- Emergency warning: If you experience excessive bleeding, swelling, or signs of infection at the collection site, seek immediate medical attention.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly is DNA extraction from a buccal swab?
DNA extraction isolates your genetic material from cheek cells collected via a painless, non-invasive swab. The purified DNA is then available for downstream analysis such as paternity testing, ancestry profiling, or health-related genetic screening. The entire process preserves the integrity of your genomic material.
2. How soon will I receive my extracted DNA sample?
Your purified DNA is delivered within 5 working days from sample receipt. The DNA is preserved in a stabiliser buffer and is ready for immediate use or long-term storage for future genetic testing.
3. Is this DNA extraction service covered by insurance in the UAE?
Insurance coverage varies by policy. Contact us via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 for direct billing verification. Many plans cover genetic sample processing when deemed medically necessary by your physician.
