How should I store my Lumyn genetic wellness kit and collected sample?
Short answer
Store Lumyn genetic wellness exactly as the kit label directs, both before and after collection. Keep supplies sealed until needed and away from children and pets. Do not refrigerate or freeze the sample unless instructed. Check the return-mailing deadline, and ask the lab about any heat exposure, leaks, or damaged packaging.
The storage rules for Lumyn genetic wellness should come from the kit label and the testing lab. The product information provided here does not specify an exact temperature range or how long a collected sample can be kept. Do not assume that rules for another home test apply.
Before collection, keep the supplies in their original packaging. Check the expiration date and inspect the package for damage. Keep the kit away from children and pets, and do not open the swab until you are ready to follow the collection steps.
After collection, use the container and packaging supplied with the kit. Follow all directions for sealing, storage, and return mailing. Do not add water or any other liquid. Do not refrigerate or freeze the sample unless the instructions specifically tell you to.
If the kit was left in a hot car, froze during delivery, leaked, or sat longer than directed, contact the lab before using or mailing it. Ask whether replacement supplies are needed.
