Procedure: |
| 1. |
In the
clear container test tube or shot glass put 1
teaspoon of the clear soap solution. |
| 2. |
Swish 2
teaspoons of Gatorade or salt solution in your
mouth vigorously for 30 seconds. The goal is to
slough off as many cheek cells as possible. |
| 3. |
Spit the
Gatorade or salt solution into the container you put
the soap in. |
| 4. |
Gently
mix this solution for 2-3 minutes. Try to avoid
creating too many bubbles. The soap solution breaks
the cell membranes that are made up of fats - just
like soap breaks down grease on your dishes. |
| 5. |
Tilt the
clear container with your spit and soap solution and
gently pour 2-3 teaspoons of the ice cold alcohol
down the side of the container so that it forms a
layer on the top. DO NOT MIX THIS |
| 6. |
Let the
container stand for 1 or 2 minutes. |
| 7. |
You will
see white clumps appearing - This is your DNA! |
| 8. |
Use a
toothpick and gently spool the white clumps and
place them in your vial. |
| 9. |
Use the
teaspoon and put a small amount of the left over
liquid in the vial. |
| 10. |
Use the
directions given in the Fill Your Own Vial area to
seal your Vial. |
