This section ensures your sample will be clean of outside male DNA, so you get accurate results.

1. Don’t let males (even male pets!) touch the kit contents at any point.
2. IMPORTANT! If you haven’t already, drink a full 8 oz. glass of water now. This makes blood collection easier and faster and improves sample quality.
3. Locate a flat counter or table surface to collect your sample.
4. Thoroughly clean surface with household cleaner or warm soapy water.

Collect blood
Blood can fill fast here! Skip to step 10 when your sample is between the dual fill lines. This typically takes 1-4 minutes.

1. Dangle arm in relaxed vertical position with collection tube pointing straight towards the ground.
2. Collect sample until blood level reaches anywhere between the dual fill lines on the tube.
3. If 4 minutes have passed, skip to step 10. It’s ok to send us your sample even if it didn’t reach the lower fill line. SneakPeek lab will still attempt to process it. If your sample is above the upper fill line, that’s fine, too, just send it in!

Remove SneakPeek Snap
In this step, you’ll separate your collection tube from the main SneakPeek Snap device casing.

1. Slowly peel SneakPeek Snap off your skin.
2. Hold SneakPeek Snap in one hand and the collection tube in an upright position with the other hand. SLOWLY bend the device casing so it separates from the tube, making sure to keep the tube in an upright position. The device casing can be disposed of in a normal trash bin.
3. Push cap tightly to seal the collection tube. When tube is capped, put it down for a moment.
4. Use the gauze pad to wipe any blood from your arm and apply the adhesive bandage.

Mix blood with preservative
Your collection tube has a clear preservative on the side walls to protect your sample, so it’s very important to mix blood and preservative well by fully coating the sides of the tube.

1. Double check that the collection tube is tightly capped.
2. Firmly tap tube on your flat surface with lid side facing down to break up blood clots, until blood flows to top of tube.
3. Lightly shake tube until blood coats the sides of the tube, or 20 seconds, whichever happens first.
4. If blood doesn’t coat the tube after 20 seconds, repeat steps 2 and 3 until it does.
