How do I use the Lumyn genetic wellness cheek-swab kit?

Read all instructions before opening the collection supplies. Lumyn genetic wellness uses a swab from inside your cheek, which you then mail back for testing. Your prescribing physician’s directions and the kit label take priority over general collection advice.

Check whether the kit requires registration, an identifying label, or a collection date. Look for instructions about eating, drinking, smoking, mouthwash, or brushing your teeth before collection. Do not guess a waiting period if one is not listed. Ask the testing lab or Verra for clarification.

Keep the swab tip from touching other surfaces. Use it only as directed, then place it in the container provided. Follow any drying, sealing, and packaging steps exactly. Use the return instructions included with your kit rather than choosing your own mailing method.

If you drop the swab, damage a container, or are unsure whether you collected it correctly, ask before mailing it. Do not use another person’s kit or combine samples from different people.
