    - Delivery: we estimate that you will receive your kit within 2 days of ordering (not including Sundays)
    - Return: once you ship your sample at a local drop box Monday-Friday, our lab should receive your sample within 1-2 business days.
    - Results: results are typically available within 24-48 hours after the lab receives your sample.

    If you are concerned that your schedule may not allow for our testing process, we recommend that you check your state department’s website for other testing options.

This home collection kit has been authorized only for the home collection and maintenance of nasal swab specimens as an aid in detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens. This home collection kit in combination with the authorized test is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostic tests for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 under Section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.
