What to Expect Throughout the Process

You’ll receive a personalized instructions email from Rupa with everything you need to know about what kind of blood sample is needed and how to prepare for your test before your kit ships!
If your test requires a blood draw, your instructions e-mail will include local phlebotomy options for you to call and schedule an appointment.
