Step 01
Plan Your Collection
Ship Monday thru Friday and avoid US holidays which may cause delays. Review full clinical guidelines at gdx.net/tests/prep.
Night Before Collection
Patients must fast overnight prior to the blood draw. Freeze gel freezer pack (at least 4 hours before shipping).
Step 02
Specimen Collection
Review instructions and test prep information at gdx.net/activate.
2. Write your date of birth (DOB) and the date of collection on the labels provided.
Attach a completed label to the blue-top amber tube
Collect Urine
Collect your first morning urination into a clean container (a large plastic cup works well). If you wake to urinate during the night, within 6 hours of when you typically wake for the day, collect your urine in the cup, refrigerate, then combine with your first morning urination collection.
Use the pipette to transfer urine from the cup into the blue-top amber tube until nearly full.
Recap the tube tightly and shake.
4. Place the tube into the biohazard bag and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.
Blood Draw and Processing
Clean the skin thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol before venipuncture.
Draw blood.
Prepare blood using benchchart. Specimens must be received at the lab within 48 hours of collection. If necessary, the specimens can be kept in a refrigerator overnight before shipping.
Step 03
Return Collection Pack
Confirm that each tube has a completed label attached with patient’s date of birth and the date of collection. Place the frozen freezer brick and the biohazard bags with all tubes inside the foam insulator. Replace the foam lid.
Retain a copy of the activation number for future reference using one of the three labels provided on the bottom of the activation label card.
Visit gdx.net/mygdx to enter the date of your final collection and receive your confirmation code. Write the date of collection and your confirmation code on the activation label card. Place the activation card inside the box.
Close the cardboard box and place inside the FedEx shipping bag. Follow the shipping instructions provided.
