Your sample is sent under a code, without your name, to a European laboratory specialising in sequencing: Eurofins Genomics in Denmark. There, DNA is extracted and sequenced, with a technical target of approximately 80 million reads per sample. Our bioinformatics and microbiology team then processes the data using internationally recognised reference databases and tools to generate your reports.
Every sample must pass quality control checks: a minimum microbial DNA concentration of 8 ng/µL, sequencing quality thresholds and a human DNA proportion below 10%. If it fails, we do not issue results. Unless the failure is demonstrably due to not following the instructions, we will send you a new kit free of charge to repeat the analysis.
