MTHFR test UK and Europe
The saliva samples can be collected at home using ordinary cotton buds that are used to clean ears with. This method is completely accurate, reliable and stable. The DNA dries and will remain in the swab. A reagent is used to separate the DNA from anything else on the swab. You will be sent the downloadable documents via email. There is no need to wait for a test kit and the samples can be sent immediately if need be.
Please note: If you do require a test kit to be delivered then this can also be arranged but the home cotton swab method works on the same basis as the test kit method. The test kit will contain 3 long stick cotton swabs but ordinary home cotton bud swabs can be used in the same way for sample collection.
