What is a "DIY" Make Your Own Kit?
Key Differences Between Standard Home DNA Test Kits and DIY Kits
When it comes to at-home DNA testing, My Forever DNA leads the industry with innovative solutions tailored to meet diverse customer needs. We offer two distinct options: the Standard Home DNA Test Kit and the "DIY" Make Your Own Kit (MYOK). Both options deliver accurate results from our exclusive partnership with a US-Based AABB-accredited lab, but they cater to different preferences and requirements. Let’s explore what sets the DIY Make Your Own Kit apart and why it might be the perfect choice for you.
What is a "DIY" (Make Your Own) DNA Test Kit?
The DIY Make Your Own Kit is a revolutionary, instantly downloadable DNA testing solution. Unlike traditional kits that require shipping, the DIY Kit provides step-by-step instructions and a result notification form immediately sent to your email after purchase.
