How Microbiome Testing Works

How to take the test

When you receive your kit, follow the instructions, collect your sample and send it back. We’ll do the rest, like making sure the sample is valid, analysing the DNA of your gut bacteria and interpreting the data. All you have to do is log on to your personal account to see the results.

Steps

1

Order the Atlas Microbiome Test online

Your information is safe with us.

2

Register your kit before collecting the sample

First go to https://atlasbiomed.com/account and register your personal account. In the account you should register the barcode that is located on the container, which is inside the box.
Please remember that, if you do not register this barcode, we will not be able to give you access to your results.

3

Collect the stool sample

Please read the instructions carefully so you do not affect the quality of your sample. Once the tube is sealed tightly, keep your sample at room temperature. You don’t need to put it in the fridge, just seal it in the specimen bag.

4

Return the kit by post

Seal the box with your sample inside and return it by mail.
The original box already includes prepaid postage, so you just have to drop it in your nearest postbox and we will handle the rest.

5

We analyse your microbiome

Your sample is analysed in the lab using Illumina technology. The DNA fragments in your sample are studied to identify your microbes and evaluate their proportion in the microbiome.
It may take 4–8 weeks before your results are available on your personal account. Every sample is analysed on a case-by-case basis and we will notify you personally if there are any changes to this timeframe.

6

Interpreting data

We use algorithms based on published scientific research to analyse your microbiome and establish personalised lifestyle recommendations.
