kit guide

From spit to your living genome.

Pick a plan, get a saliva kit in the mail, send it back, and your sequenced genome appears in your account as private data you own. One physical step; we handle the rest.

before you start

Three things, all from your couch.

Everything happens from the dashboard. You never touch a sample sheet, an index sequence, or a cloud bucket.

Pick a plan

Genome Access is $9/month with genomic read access metered per million; Genome Unlimited is $49/month with unlimited access. Both cover the kit, sequencing, and storage.

Add your shipping address

Save a default shipping address in the dashboard. Om uses it to send your collection kit and prepare your prepaid return label.

Get your kit

Request your first kit from the dashboard. Om mails a simple saliva collection kit — no lab account, no cloud setup, no service keys.

your one sample

Start once, print two things, mail one thing.

The printed QR insert identifies your sample; the prepaid return label gets it back to Om. Both print straight from the dashboard.

  1. 01

    Start your one sample

    Click Start sequencing in the dashboard. Om creates your lifetime specimen record with tracking IDs and queues the collection kit.

  2. 02

    Print the QR insert and return label

    Print the QR insert and the prepaid return label from the dashboard. The insert is how Om connects your sample back to your account.

  3. 03

    Spit, seal, and mail

    Provide your saliva sample, seal it, place it in the kit with the printed insert, apply the return label, and mail it back. No ice needed.

mailing your sample

Ambient shipping. Nothing cold, nothing complicated.

Your kit ships ambient in a branded Om mailer. Seal your sample, include the printed insert, apply the return label, and drop it in the mail.

The insert is required

Om cannot process a sample without the printed QR insert inside the kit. It is what ties the tube back to your account.

Seal it well

Close the collection tube firmly and seal it before packing. No ice or dry ice is required — ambient is fine.

Prepaid return

Print the return label from the dashboard, apply it to the mailer, and ship. Tracking appears in your dashboard.

your genome data

Private readsets from one sample, richer over time.

Each immutable sequencing batch adds to the genome you already have. New reference panels and annotations apply automatically — at no extra cost.

Track receipt and processing

The dashboard shows your sample moving from received to processing to ready as Om sequences and cleans your genome.

Open your genome data

Your genome lands in your account as private readsets. Generate a private data link whenever you want to open or download them.

Explore it with your agent

Connect Claude Code or Codex to the Om MCP and sign in with your Om account — no keys to paste. Genomic read access is metered on Genome Access and unlimited on Genome Unlimited.
