Specimen Collection
The Sonic Clinical Institute has a large and extensive network of collection facilities operated by Sonic Healthcare laboratories throughout Australia and overseas.
We provide a secure transport infrastructure throughout Australia, with our collection personnel trained in the rigorous chain-of-custody procedures necessary for legal DNA testing.
Please refer to our comprehensive list of approved Collection Centres throughout Australia.
What DNA sample is used for testing?
Our preferred DNA sample is a buccal swab and is collected by a mouth swab. This method is accurate and painless.
At times, a collection of a blood spot card may be required.
