    The return envelope is 15 grams with both vials and is self-adhesive.
    Both cheek swabs have predetermined breaking points just below the black line, so aim for them for clean cuts.
    The tissue is likely to bind humidity or eventual vial leakage.

      The DNA vials have a code and the DNA test is assigned to a person in your site. There is no need to put your name on the envelope.

    One question:
    How do they know who's vials are if my name and address are not the same as my account? The vials have some code bars. I did registered the kit but did not write the activation code on the return samples.

    • @AllesPhysik
      @AllesPhysik Před rokem +2

      Your activation code is automatically related to the barcode on the vials right from the start. They know it‘s your sample because they get the code from the vials matching the code you entered online.

      There is no need to write anything on the envelope. Once you have activated the DNA kit it is linked to a profile.
