Some Hints To Help

How to collect a successful sample

To make collecting your blood sample as quick and easy as possible, and to ensure your sample is in ideal condition for our labs to test, there are a few simple things you can do.

Collect your sample first thing in the morning immediately after a hot shower, and before you eat.
Drink a large glass of water 30 minutes before you collect your sample, to ensure you are well hydrated.
Don’t squeeze your finger too hard as this can cause the blood cells to burst.
Ensure you fill the specimen container with four solid drops of blood. See photo for correct sample collection.
Post the sample as soon as you’ve collected it, between Monday and Thursday.

What Happens Next?

Once you have ordered your test you will get an email once the kit is mailed out. It has tracking to you and then tracking to the lab. Typically it takes 3-5 business days to arrive at you and the same returning to the lab.

48 hours after the lab receives the test – your results will be on your dashboard and you will be notified by email.

What if I Did The Test Wrong?

If you didn’t do the test correctly then it will return as TNP or “test not performed”.

We will automatically bill you $19 and send a new test kit. You will not be billed for the entire test.
