How do I use my DNA swab kit?

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Instructions are in the package—but we've got you covered here, too.

First of all, register your kit at alterme.com/register. This step is critical to ensure we can match your results with you.

Then, open the swab, rub the swab firmly against the inside of your cheek for 30–60 seconds, and place it into the collection tube.

Seal the kit, follow the packaging instructions, and drop it into any USPS mailbox. You'll receive updates from us on the status of your DNA kit. Get excited!
