Kit supplies:
To make it as easy as possible to collect samples in your office, we can send you kits to use for cheek swab sample collections. Please CONTACT US to learn more about this option.
Kit activation:
OneOme-supplied cheek swab collection kits must be activated prior to returning the sample to OneOme. The activation step will link the pre-labeled barcode to the test order upon confirmation that two unique identifiers including the patient name and date of birth match the original order. The sample collection date is also provided to OneOme during the kit activation process.

We encourage that blood or cheek swab samples are returned to OneOme as soon as they are collected.
