The tests must be performed on the advice of the doctor/professional of reference, who can also follow you for subsequent therapy. If you don’t have one, there are several opportunities:

• You can purchase a telephone consultation on our website; you will be contacted by the laboratory to define the date and time of the appointment with our professionals.
• You can make an appointment at our laboratory tel. on 051240218 from 8:30 to 12:30 (Monday to Friday) or by writing to reception@valsambro.it
• You can send an email to marketing@valsambro.it to find out if there are professionals who work with us and know our tests, closer to you.

After purchasing the test on our website, you will receive the test kit directly to the address you indicated.

The test kit contains the tubes necessary for sample collection with instructions that will guide you step by step to correctly perform the test.

Also inside the kit you will find everything necessary to send the sample back to our laboratory.

Our tests can be performed using kits that can be purchased on the website www.valsambro.it in the “buy exams” area; inside the kit that you will receive at home, you will find everything you need both for collecting the samples and for shipping (envelope, waybill, instructions for booking collection or delivering to a support point). Samples travel with our dedicated courier. No additional costs are due to the shipper.

Times vary depending on the tests performed, the terms of which start from the day the samples arrive at the laboratory:

• Gut Screening (all) – 16 days
• Darkfield – 5 days
• IBA (Food Intolerance test) – 3 days
• Culture Tests (lime culture, urine culture, swabs) – 8 days
• Metabolomic profile – 21 days

IMPORTANT: if several tests are performed together, the reports are issued and uploaded all together, respecting the longest times (e.g. Gut Screening + dark field, both reports are uploaded after 16 days)

The reports are uploaded in a reserved area of our website. Each patient can access it from the “Patient Reports” section by entering their credentials and following the instructions found in the kit.

Attention

In case of purchases from the site, the login credentials are the ones you created at the time of the order.
In case of purchase directly in our laboratory, our staff will supply them to you.
If you have lost the access instructions, you can write to valsambro@valsambro.it and new access credentials will be sent to you.
In the event that the kit has been delivered to you by a doctor/professional to whom you have also paid the cost of the test, the reports will only be sent to the professional. In no way can we send the report directly to the patient, in compliance with privacy regulations.

The explanation of the reports and the therapy suggestions must be made by the doctor/professional of reference, the same one who advised you to carry out the tests. If you don’t have a referring doctor, there are several options:

• You can purchase a telephone consultation on our website; you will be contacted by our staff to define the date and time of the appointment with our professionals.
• You can make an appointment at our laboratory by contacting  051240218 from 8:30 to 12:30, Monday to Friday, or write to reception@valsambro.it
• You can send an email to marketing@valsambro.it to find out if there are professionals who work with us and are familiar with our tests, close to you.

You will find all the instructions for making the payment in the test kit that the doctor or professional has given you. We collaborate with professionals throughout the national territory.

If the professional is temporarily without the test kit, you can independently proceed with the purchase on our website in the “buy exams” area. Payments are accepted by credit card (also prepaid) or PayPal account.
