Does the sample collection hurt?

No. The sample collection is as easy and as painless as brushing your teeth. The buccal swabs that are used to collect the samples look like long Q-Tips. The tip of the swab is rubbed along the inside of the cheek — the cells will stick to the swab. This process is safe even for newborns.
