Can You Test DNA At Home?

Can You Test DNA At Home?

Yes, you can. Geneway offers DNA test kits in South Africa that you can take in the comfort of you own home.  A quick online order and the kit is shipped (couriered) to you and collected again from home (or work). This makes DNA testing at home super quick and easy!

DNA Test Procedure

Completing a home DNA test kit from Geneway will typically entail the following:

Step 1: Buy a DNA Collection Kit from an accredited Geneway practitioner. If there is not a Geneway practitioner in your area, you can order a DNA home test kit from orders@geneway.co.za to be delivered to your house or office. Keep in mind that the courier fee will be for your account.

Step 2: Using the long swab inside the tube, you’ll gently rub the inside of your cheek. The best way to do this is shown here. Place the swab back inside the tube.

Step 3: Return the sample to your practitioner, or book a courier service by sending an email to orders@geneway.co.za.

Step 4: You will be notified via email when the sample arrives at the laboratory and when your results are ready.

Step 5: Your Geneway practitioner will interpret the results then discuss them with you, or you can book an online feedback session with Geneway online.
