User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be bought and given as a gift? Inside the box is there a form to send when you mail your sample, telling where to send the results
Answer:	Hi, You are using too much water. Wring the sponge well, flap or pat dry the paper after wetting. If paint continues to get too thin, leave lid off to allow evaporation. Add a touch of household ammonia to the water before soaking sponge and paper. This keeps everything fresh and helps reduce skimming while open. When dry enough, mist lightly to maintain proper moisture and prevent skim.
Question:	Does the finger prick hurt? And is it difficult to do yourself
Answer:	Yes. It comes with the spongy layer and some paper. The paper is actually washable, so I just rinse it off and reuse it. I've even scrubbed it lightly with a sponge. It's a different kind of paper. Some stains remain but they don't hurt anything. I use one side then turn it over and use the other side. I've used one sheet of paper for awhile now.
Question:	Do they provide results on Saturday
Answer:	Avoid using chemicals in your wet palette that threaten to affect the characteristics of the paint like dish soap, peroxide, alcohol, and vinegar. FOR EXAMPLE: dish soap reduced surface tension of water and will change how the paint flows; vinegar is an acid and could change the pH of the acrylic - destroying its pigment binding chemistry and potentially causing the paint to reactivate when it gets wet; alcohols (including Listerine with alcohol) significantly speeds up the paint drying time (exactly what you don't want in a wet palette); and hydrogen peroxide will cause pigment clumping - causing interesting but uncontrollable effects on saturation and contrast. Three one-cent pennies under the sponge will effectively inhibit mold, mildew, bacteria because copper ions are anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. The thin copper plating on the newer zinc (post 1982) pennies are enough to prevent microbial growth. Do use distilled water.
Question:	I know it says test ready at 9weeks, what if I did it at 8 weeks
Answer:	We have only used it with acrylic paints, but it says in the description that it is compatible with oils.

How accurate is the SneakPeekTest?

In our most recent large-scale study, SneakPeek has been found to be 99.9% accurate when determining fetal sex, as confirmed at time of birth!

How is the DNA sample taken?

You will receive a test kit that provides everything you need to take the test, from the comfort of your home. Three lancets are included that you use to prick your finger to collect 7-10 drops in a small test tube. The sample is then mailed back to SneakPeek Labs for analysis.

How is my privacy protected?

We know information surrounding your DNA is sensitive. To protect your privacy we do the following:

• SneakPeek tests only for baby’s gender. No data is gathered about disease states or other health-related information.
• After the test is run, your DNA sample is transferred to a professional chemical management company for immediate disposal in compliance with federal regulations.
• SneakPeek never shares your results with anyone other than the email address you provide.

Is this test safe?

SneakPeek Clinical is a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), and it’s safe for both mom and baby! SneakPeek looks for male DNA in the fetal DNA found in mom's circulation. To avoid inaccurate test results, be sure to take the test only when you're 8 weeks pregnant to ensure the level of male chromosomes is high enough to read. Want to order the test in advance of 8 weeks? Sure, you can do that! The test kit is good for a year.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the saliva still work for the test after 2 months? I have to ship the saliva from Panama
Answer:	As long as you've added the buffer solution to your sample, it's good for up to six months. However, 23andMe sample kits must be used in and returned for analysis from, the country to which the order is originally shipped.
Question:	Im confused! some reviews say the government banned health reports yet 23&me advertises a health report. what am i missing

The new experience includes access to more than 60 personalized genetic reports that include carrier status*, wellness, and trait reports. You can preview a full list of available reports here: https://www.23andme.com/service/
Question:	It says one lithium battery required? What does that mean
Answer:	No batteries are required.
Question:	do i get the same results from promethease for the $99 23&me kit as the $199 kit? which one should i get??? ty
Answer:	I would say that yes you get the same results. Or atleast that is my understanding from this statement that was on the promethease website."23andMe $99 "ancestry only" product, is sufficient for Promethease, or the $199 "ancestry + health" product, which also includes carrier status reports. One time payment, lifetime membership. Both products use the (same) customized Illumina chip which covers 25695 of the 94743 SNPs in SNPedia. Less than 2,000 of these are known to be in ClinVar; presumably some of the proprietarily named "i-SNPs" correspond to ClinVar/SNPedia entries as well but 23andMe does not reveal which publicly or to its non-corporate users."https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Testing

User questions & answers

Question:	Do the results give countries or just continents? I would like one that gives specific countries
Answer:	Just a general response to all the older responses to questions. All of the DNA companies are constantly changing their DNA results. The more people that have the test, that more data goes into improving the accuracy and/or improves the ability to be more specific. Therefore, just wanted to say, as time goes on, the older responses may no longer be valid.
Question:	Do you get both maternal and paternal lines with this test
Answer:	Not distinct, separate lines, no. But you do get those results, just mixed up. AncestryDNA tests only autosomal chromosomes; that is, non-sex chromosomes. These are the 22 chromosomes everyone has regardless of gender. That means your results will show both your parents' ancestry, even if you're female, but it'll be combined - you won't be able to tell which parent provided which country or DNA result. For maternal- and paternal-specific ancestry (mtDNA and YDNA, respectively), 23andme provides this testing. AncestryDNA stopped doing it in 2014 (see https://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2014/06/12/comments-on-y-dna-and-mtdna-tests/). I recommend doing both AncestryDNA and 23andme for a more comprehensive picture of your background. And if you're female, ask a male relative (father, brother, paternal uncle) to do 23andme so you can extrapolate your paternal YDNA and haplogroup, since females do not carry the Y sex chromosome. Again, this is not available via AncestryDNA.If you are only interested in overall, general, "big-picture" results, and aren't concerned with specifics like which part of the world your maternal/paternal line came from per se, or your haplogroups, then AncestryDNA is the way to go.
Question:	Are these results on a par with 23andme? Are they identical or is there more info or less
Answer:	Depends on what you’re using it for. I took Ancestry and my sister to 23andme. We were looking to confirm our relatives not our ethnicity. We had way more matches and have been able to find common ancestors with other DNA matches. 23 and me is harder to sort through the matches and I’m not sure If you can even see other people’s family trees as i haven’t figured it out in almost a year
Question:	How many past generations does this test go back? Will it test going back a few hundred years
Answer:	That depends on your ancestry and the number of people of similar ancestry who have tested. Biggest group is European heritage. I have 6th and 7th generation matches going back to colonial New England because there was a good degree of pedigree collapse (genetic reinforcement due to small populations intermarrying) The majority of matches will be in the 4th cousin range. However, matches are pointless unless you have a decent family tree (at least 4 generations) and respond to messages because you will not be able to make the connections otherwise.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you test owls
Answer:	yes
Question:	Omg want to use but will plucking his feather out scare my budgie to oueces

Question:	how much would it charge me to send the results back to the lab or is it covered with the purchase
Answer:	The price for sending the samples to the lab depends on the country where you are located. It's not included in the price because the product is sold in different countries. You need to check with your local postal service. For example, the cost of Royal Mail for sending a standard envelope with the cheapest stamp from the UK to the USA is £2.25 The result is sent by email as a pdf format, and you don't have to pay an extra cost for that.

Question:	How many test strips come in the package

User questions & answers

Question:	It says you need an Ancestry account. Do you have to pay for their online site
Answer:	No, you don't have to pay, yet again, to see your results. If you want to see how you relate to other people via your DNA, yes, you do need a subscription. There is a 50% discount for the first 6 months or so, but you need to ask for it. I found my Father using Ancestry, BTW.
Question:	What happens to your DNA once the test is performed
Answer:	Nothing happens to it. If you are worried about someone somehow getting into the database your account is only identified as a random number. You can also send in the test under a fake name (few in my family did this, used a Pets name the street name) Only downside to doing that is you won’t be able to link to any potential relatives. At the end of the day I know DNA can be obtained from just about anything I touch or use in so if someone really wants it they can get it -shrug-
Question:	Does this kit provide info about genetic snp's like mthfr mutations
Answer:	The AncestryDNA or 23 and Me “Ethnicity + HEALTH” tests DO provide info as to what gene mutations you have and a list of what health issues you are dispositioned for due to said mutation. I, for instance, found out I have the MTHFR gene mutation. I learned who I got it from & some scary stuff, such as, being dispositioned for Schizophrenia and miscarriages (and about 99 more things). It is really hard to find a doctor who knows anything about it. You’d need to visit mthfr(dot)net and research for yourself. Sadly.
Question:	Why should i buy from amazon when there is a disclaimer stating not to because the kit could be rejected
Answer:	What the others above said was correct. It’s sold by Ancestry but shipped by Amazon. (Like most things here. Brands/sellers are selling their item on Amazon & Amazon ships. I just got my results back & my adult son should have his back any day. Super easy process and it’s fun! I was very surprised by mine. 100% Trusted to buy from Amazon. If you buy it from Ancestry site you’ll be paying like $40 in shipping (I think it’s actually more than $40) & why I purchased them here! Good luck!

User questions & answers

Question:	Why does this brand lump british & irish together? (i noticed ancestry dna lists them separately). the genes are significantly different. thanks
Answer:	It will if you have a significant difference, if that is the case, it will drill down to say Irish. For instance, my husband (who is from Ireland) was 99% British and Irish, and then drilled down to 99% Irish. I was 88% from Spain and Portugal (I'm from Portugal) and then drilled down to 88% Portugal. I never mentioned to them I was from Portugal so the fact that they determined that I was Portuguese and not Spanish or a mixture was a surprise. Now, if you only have a small percentage they may not be able to distinguish between the two groups. Hope this helped!
Question:	Does this test include access to raw data
Answer:	There is access to your raw data, however if you recently took the test and have results under the V5 chip, you will not be able to upload to many third party sites at this time as this raw data is not yet supportrd
Question:	In regards to finding out my Native American roots, will this provide ancestral records to tribal affiliation
Answer:	Not only will it not provide tribal affiliation, there is a notable rate of false negatives for Native American ancestry in DNA testing right now (both 23andme and other companies). Meaning these results might say you have zero Native ancestry even when you do have some. People who have their family tree well documented and live on reservations have had this happen, due to the comparison samples the companies use to test against.
Question:	do i pay for shipping to return test
Answer:	you don't need to pay for return shipping but you'll probably need to send it more than once because they lose kits all the time.

• The 5Strands Food Intolerance Test covers proteins, grains, fruits, vegetables, beverages, dairy, fats, seafood, spices, sweeteners, and additives. Of the 600+ items tested, the results will show only the items you registered an intolerance to. The intolerances are listed into 3 levels based on the response upon exposure. Utilizing the items that register a Level 3 response will create the recommended 6-8 week elimination guideline.
• 5Strands utilizes bioresonance technology that will identify temporary imbalances in the body that may be causing symptoms such as upset stomach, headaches, bloating, joint pain, skin issues, constipation, or diarrhea. These are non-life threatening responses and can take anywhere from several hours or several days to appear. Unlike an allergy, intolerances do not involve the immune system.
• Once you know what food items may be causing your discomforts or intolerance symptoms, you will be able to eliminate them from your diet and see if the symptoms lessen or disappear. After the 6-8 week period, you can then re-introduce an item one at a time, in small quantities, and see if the symptoms return. To avoid potential future intolerance symptoms, it is suggested to consume a wide variety of foods in moderation.
• Testing results take 7-10 days after the hair sample has been received at the processing center. In order for you to see ANY RESULTS, this test requires 100% interaction. Our incredible customer support team is accessible via email or phone to assist with any questions along your journey. When you get your emailed results, don’t be overwhelmed, take a deep breath, and be excited to start your journey to better health.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i take the test if ive been on a keto type diet for 5 months
Answer:	It is for connecting the Logical Analyzer probe.
Question:	do any of the 550 intolerances include forms of sugar
Answer:	Per Siglent, yes, this four-channel X-E series does have a logic/digital/ mixed signal option. This requires both hardware and software activation. Both the SDS1000X-E-LA (Firmware) and SLA1016 (Logic Probe, Hardware, 16-channels) are required for the Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) function. We do not carry these options for now but we may be able to get them for you.
Question:	Does this test for titanium, nickel, and aluminum
Answer:	The probes supplied with the SDS1204x-e were the PP215 200 MHz 1x/10x passive probes.
Question:	Hello! Does the test work sending beard ??? Tks
Answer:	The 1204X-E has four channels. I'm pretty sure that's what the "4" in "1204" represents. However, it only has two (dual) A/D converters. The first converter supports channels 1 and 2 while the second converter supports channels 3 and 4. So, when an A/D converter is supporting two channels, the max sampling is only 500mSa/s per channel instead of 1gSa/s. If you are only using two channels and want the max sampling rate, use one channel from the first A/D the other from the second A/D and switch the unused channels off. For example, use channels 1 and 3 and turn channels 2 and 4 off.

Utilizing Your 5Strands Results

Utilizing the items that register a Level 3 response will create the recommended 6-8 week elimination guideline. Please try to not consume any food items that you were not tested for during the elimination period. You will not know how your body will respond to these items.

Level 2 items may be affecting the body and causing noticeable symptoms. Level 1 items are just beginning to affect the body on a cellular level. These Level 2 & Level 1 items should be consumed no more than 2-3 times per week.

After the 6-8 week period, you can then re-introduce an item one at a time, in small quantities, and see if the symptoms return. To avoid potential future intolerance symptoms, it is suggested to consume a wide variety of foods in moderation.

• HELPFUL TEST - This test is a great place to start if you want to dig into your body's relationship with food. The test measures IgG antibodies in a small blood sample to tell you how your immune system reacts to 96 different foods. You can then use your results to help guide a temporary elimination diet to pinpoint the foods you're sensitive to. (Note: food sensitivities are different than food allergies and intolerances. This is not an allergy test.)
• GUIDANCE FOR AN ELIMINATION DIET - Food sensitivities can contribute to migraines, joint pain, skin issues, gastrointestinal distress, and other symptoms. Finding the symptom-causing foods isn't always easy, but the Everlywell Food Sensitivity Test makes it easier by giving you useful information that can help guide a temporary elimination diet.
• EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND RESULTS - Gain meaningful insights about your health with easy-to-understand test results. Download and share with your healthcare provider, family, or friends. We also provide you with additional resources and helpful tips along the way.
• CERTIFIED LABS - Each partner lab we choose to work with is CLIA-certified (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments). This means they have to meet high standards to obtain both state and federal certifications and submit themselves to regular inspections.
• PHYSICIAN-REVIEWED - Everlywell test orders and results are reviewed and approved by an independent board-certified physician within your state.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to have eaten the food recently to be tested for it? That’s what one of the questions and answers suggest
Answer:	The antibodies being testing are called IgG. As long as you have eaten a certain food within the past 4 weeks, the test should be able to detect those IgG levels. Conversely, if someone has removed a food from their diet for long periods of time, they may or may not still have IgG reactivity detected. It is possible for antibodies to change, however, it takes roughly 6 months for an IgG antibodies to leave your system completely. That means no eating any form or source of the food in question for at least 6 months. Our test looks at your current diet. If you are looking to add a potentially ‘problematic’ food back into your diet to see if you’re still sensitive to it on your test results, it’s recommended to consume that food for about 4 weeks prior to testing. Please be advised that if you experience symptoms while eating this food, you’ve already identified a sensitivity.
Question:	What if some of the foods tested have not been eaten in a while
Answer:	Hello! If you are looking to add a potentially ‘problematic’ food back into your diet to see if you’re still sensitive to it on your test results, it’s recommended to consume that food for about 4 weeks prior to testing. Please be advised that if you experience symptoms while eating this food, you’ve already identified a sensitivity.
Question:	Would an effort to eat many of the foods on the list prior to taking the test help to receive a more complete profile
Answer:	If you are suspicious about a certain food or food group, especially in the heavy offenders such as gluten or dairy, be sure to consume prior to taking the test. They make it very clear in the instructions that if you aren't consuming that product you cannot test an intolerance for it.
Question:	Can this test be shipped from ny once test is completed
Answer:	We currently do not offer tests to residents of New York state. This is due to the state’s regulations around testing. We hope to eventually offer all of our tests in all 50 states.
