One of the following is used for sex chromatin testing

Chromosomal sex can be determined by the study of the leucocytes or by simply taking a smear from the buccal mucosa The nuclei of the female chromosome contain a stainable body called the sex chromatin, hence female cells are termed as chromatin positive.
