Test and sample
collection

Upon submitting a Bioscreen request, over the phone or by email, we will review the information you provide by validating your method of payment and shipping address. Orders may not be accepted for delivery to certain addresses and territories based on their location. Once we have received payment, we will send you a Bioscreen Test Kit. Invalid order details may result in a delay in processing your order. Bioscreen Test Kits are subject to availability and we will not be liable for any delays in providing you with a Test Kit.

We will ship products via the shipping method of our choice. Each Test Kit that is despatched by Bioscreen contains the details of the user that ordered the Test Kit and is required to provide the sample. This is on the postage label attached to the outside of the Test Kit. Once you send a sample back to us, you consent to us conducting Bioscreen testing on the sample as agreed at the time of payment. If you submit a Bioscreen request for or on behalf of another person, you consent to us conducting Bioscreen testing on the sample. You consent that the person has read and agreed to our Terms and Conditions.

If there is a significant delay in the return of your sample for a reason that is not caused by you, Bioscreen will ask you to collect a new sample free of charge. If the delay was caused by you, a fee will be charged for a replacement Test Kit.

You must collect, package and ship the sample to us as described in the instruction sheet provided. We will only accept samples received as outlined in the instruction sheet. We are not obliged to provide you with a replacement or refund if you damage, misuse or misplace the Bioscreen Test Kit. If you require a new Test Kit for any of these reasons, a fee will be charged.

In rare instances, that are out of our control, Bioscreen may be unable to carry out testing of your sample. If this occurs, we will notify you and may request you to submit another sample. If this failure is due to you submitting an insufficient amount of sample, or due to incorrect packaging of the sample, we may charge you a replacement fee.

We reserve the right to destroy, dispose or retain any sample as we see fit once the testing has been completed. This is dependent on the type of sample and reason.

We will provide your Health Care Practitioner with a copy of your Bioscreen report. You may request a copy of the report to be sent to you, or to an alternative Health Care Practitioner, once an Authorisation to Release Form has been received by Bioscreen.
