Easy to use Skin Testing Kit
Preparation: the night before you use the swab, take off all makeup and don’t use any skincare. Take the swab first thing the next morning, before washing your face (even with water), showering, applying makeup, creams or any other cosmetics. Important: not suitable while using topical steroids or antibiotics. Wait at least 7 days before taking any skin testing kit.
1. Open the pack and locate the collection tube in your skin testing kit. Clearly write your name and the date on its label.
2. Locate the swab pack and very carefully open it from the handle end, making sure not to touch the swab tip.
3. The swab tip should not be in contact with any surfaces, before or after being applied to your cheeks.
4. Apply firm pressure when placing the swab tip on your cheek. Rub the tip up and down the cheek for 40 seconds. Then rub the swab tip up and down the other cheek for 40 seconds.
5. Carefully remove the collection tube cap, ensuring the solution inside is not spilt.
6. Immediately insert the swab tip into the bottom of the tube, making sure it’s covered by the solution inside. Please do not touch the swab tip or bring it into contact with any surface.
7. Make sure the ‘break point’ on the shaft of the swab is next to the top edge of the collection tube. Then snap the swab shaft at the break point. Dispose of the rest of the swab shaft you’re holding.
8. Screw the cap firmly back onto the tube, making sure not to spill the solution inside.
9. NOTE: If you received two swabs, please repeat the same procedure for the second swab. Then, please place it in the same red tube for shipping.
10. Place the collection tube into a shipping envelope and post it to us as soon as possible. If there is a delay in shipping, store the red tube with swabs in the refrigerator.
