The primary phase addresses various aspects of buccal swab collection including storage time, swab type, extraction method, and evaluation of a chemical preservative) leaf 5 (Since this study is designed to determine the stability of DNA from buccal swabs, preservation of the sample is fundamental to avoid degradation, which is a breakdown of the DNA strand)

- Journal of biomolecular techniques, Dec. 2009:p. 232 (Traditionally, the collection of genetic material suitable for multiplex PCR-based genotyping assays has been derived from blood. However, blood sampling is invasive, time-consuming, and expensive ... Buccal swabs, on the other hand, are considered a convenient alternative for collecting genetic material, as they are relatively inexpensive and noninvasive and can be mailed for self-collection and return-mailed for testing. Buccal swabs collect epithelial cells, from which genomic DNA (gDNA) can be isolated for forensic applications, paternity testing, and determining susceptibility to disease and as a diagnostic tool for infectious or hereditary diseases)

- WiseGeek.com, Jan. 29, 2018(A buccal swab, or cheek swab, is the preferred method of obtaining a sample for two types of profile tests commonly performed in medicine and, sometimes, in law enforcement investigations. The swab itself is much like a cotton-tipped applicator used in the application of makeup, but it is different in a couple of key areas. First, the swab has a cotton tip only at one end. Second, the shaft of the swab is generally longer than those used for personal applications. The two tests for which buccal swabs are most often used are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) tests, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) tests. DNA tests typically seek to identify or match a person based on a sample obtained from somewhere else...By contrast, the medical community generally uses HLA tests in order to identify who might be a good donor for an organ or bone marrow transplant)
