1. Remove the test from the packaging, discard wrapper in the appropriate bin. 
    
2. Swab along your bottom gum line, avoiding hitting your teeth, and under your tongue where saliva pools for 10–15 seconds. 
    
3. Unscrew lid with swab attached, taking care not to spill the liquid. 
    
4. Place swab in tube and close tightly. 
    
5. Shake tube vigorously 10–15 times. 
    
6. Write your full name and date of birth on the tube on the label provided. If using a label, wrap the label around the test tube perpendicular to the barcode by affixing the blank end of the label to the tube first so your name and DOB is readable when fully attached. The label should be placed at the top part of the tube just under the location where the cap is screwed on.
