If you select additional testing services—such as DNA Profiling, Health Testing, Ancestry Testing, or Kinship Testing—the turnaround time will depend on the testing selected. Some services, such as a basic kinship test, may be completed in approximately 3 business days, while more comprehensive testing can take considerably longer. For example, the Comprehensive Health Panel can take up to 8 weeks to complete.
Once the preservation process and any selected testing services are complete, your SecuriGene DNA Capsule will be shipped to you.

Express shipping typically takes approximately 1–3 business days, while regular shipping may take approximately 4–10 business days, depending on the delivery address.
A prepaid shipping label is included for sending your completed sample to the laboratory.
