Question 1

How do you collect my DNA?

Accepted Answer

We collect your DNA using either a saliva sample or a dried blood spot card, depending on the test. You will provide around 2 mL of saliva in the kit’s collection tube, or 6 small drops of blood on a specialised card. Both methods are quick, safe, and simple.

Question 2

Can I eat before sample collection for DNA testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but please do not eat, drink, smoke, chew gum, or use mouthwash for 30 minutes before sample collection. If collecting saliva, you may rinse your mouth with water, then wait 30 minutes before giving the sample.

Question 3

How long do I have to wait for the result?

Accepted Answer

Results usually take up to 6 weeks after your sample reaches the laboratory. The exact timing may vary depending on the type of test requested.

Question 4

How do I know which test is best for me?

Accepted Answer

Book a genetic consultation, and our genetics team will recommend the most suitable test based on your concerns, family history, and health goals.
