Testing Samples must be submitted with a Genetic Testing Order Form provided by the WHYC Office. Samples sent in without this Order Form will not be identified properly and may result in increased wait time or loss of sample.

We’ll notify you when your samples are completed.

If you have questions our Registrar can help.

Results can be received by WHYC in as little as 2-3 weeks. However, testing can take up to 2-3 months if you are testing in the busy season (Spring or Fall). In house, the WHYC Registrar attempts to send updates and certificates for new DNA tests within 7 -10 business day of our receipt of data from the laboratory.

If you already have your Neogen GeneSeek Genetics Test Results, you can go directly to our Transfer page.
