Anything that can destroy cells. The cheek swab collects cells, which are then used to extract DNA for testing. To my knowledge, there is nothing short of cellular destruction that can impede the collecting of a sample for a DNA test, since the test is actually conducted on the DNA extracted from INSIDE the cell, not just the swab.

Do you put swab into sterile for DNA test?

The swab used in cheek swab DNA testing is already sterile and ready for testing when you purchase it. They are designed for single use so only use it on the person being tested. If multiple people are being tested, use the multiple swabs included in the home DNA kit. Lastly, don't drop the swab. Contamination from dropping the swab could definitely affect the accuracy of the test results.
