This ID ensures that your test results remain completely anonymous. Only you have direct access to these results using this unique, randomly generated and assigned code: Kudzu Science has no way of linking an ID to a customer account. Confidentiality is absolute.

When your sample is analyzed in the lab, we link this ID to the test results—not to a specific individual.

So the only person who knows your identifier… is you!

However, you can choose to opt out of anonymity by providing us with your email address so we can notify you when your results are available. The choice is yours.

By activating your Kudzu kit, our lab is notified that you’ve started collecting samples. This way, we know that kit #xxxx xxxx xxxx is currently being used to collect samples and that we’ll receive it shortly for analysis. This is an important step in tracking your sample.

Activating your Kudzu kit is essential for viewing your results and tracking the progress of your analysis: Has your sample arrived at Kudzu Science? Is it currently being analyzed? Is your analysis report ready?

To activate your Kudzu kit, click on “Activate My Kudzu” on our website’s homepage.
