A device for rapid non-destructive genetic material collection can include a multi-reservoir array () and a movement mechanism. The multi-reservoir array () can include multiple reservoirs (). A plurality of the multiple reservoirs () can include an abrasive surface () capable of retaining a source of genetic material in a liquid carrier. The abrasive surface () has a roughness. The movement mechanism can be operable to move the multi-reservoir array () in an oscillating motion sufficient to create relative movement between the abrasive surface () and the source of the genetic material in order to remove a portion of genetic material from the source of the genetic material without destroying the source of the genetic material or the portion of the genetic material that is removed.
