How to Order (Non-Practitioners)

  1. Find a practitioner
    Our DNA tests and reports are designed for professional use. If you are not working with a practitioner, this list of Lifecode Gx® trained practitioners may be useful.

  2. Practitioner placed the order
    Your practitioner places the order and we send you a DNA test kit.

  3. Take DNA sample
    The DNA test is a simple, non-invasive cheek swab that is easy to do at home. Please read our how to do the test document for more detailed instructions.

  4. Return with the signed consent form
    There are no special storage or transport requirements and you can return any day.

  5. Wait for the reports to be generated
    Approximately two weeks after the sample is received, we’ll contact your practitioner when the reports are ready. Please check with your practitioner for updates.

  6. Additional reports
    Speak to your practitioner about adding reports to an existing order. After 6 months, we will require a new DNA sample.

For more information, read our how to order document. You can also download an about Lifecode Gx® brochure.


Whilst we recommend you find a practitioner to work with, we also offer a few packages directly to the public that include a support call to help you understand the reports.
