- An in-home kit is used, and buccal samples can be collected by the patients themselves at a time and place of their choosing
- Since the origin of the samples cannot be verified, names are listed on the report the same way they are labeled on the samples
- A unique barcode is assigned to each kit and appears on the report as a reference for the case Barcoded kits are assigned to your account for easy reference
