When you receive your kit, just spit in the tube and send it back in the original box, which already includes prepaid postage. We’ll do the rest, like making sure the sample is valid, checking 660,000 polymorphisms (gene variants) and interpreting the data. To see your results, simply log on to your personal account.
First go to https://atlasbiomed.com/account and register your personal account. In the account you should register the barcode that is located on the sample collection tube (for your saliva), which is inside the box.
Please remember that, if you do not register this barcode, we will not be able to give you access to your results.
Read the instructions carefully, spit in the tube up to the line, then place your sample back in the original box.
Don’t forget to read the instructions carefully. If not, you might accidentally contaminate your sample with things like chewing gum, food or cigarette smoke.
Seal the box with your sample inside and return it by mail.
The original box already includes prepaid postage, so you just have to drop it in your nearest postbox and we will handle the rest.
Your sample is analysed in the lab using Illumina technology. DNA is extracted from your saliva and specific fragments are studied.
It may take 4–8 weeks before your results are available on your personal account. Every sample is analysed on a case-by-case basis and we will notify you personally if there are any changes to this timeframe.
We use algorithms based on published scientific research to analyse your DNA and establish personalised lifestyle recommendations.
The results of your test will be added to your personal account. This process usually takes up to 8 weeks. You will be notified by email as soon as the results are ready.
Your medical and personal data are safe at every stage, from ordering your kit to receiving results online. Read our Information Governance Policy to learn more about how we protect your privacy.
