Everything you need to know for confident, comfortable screening from home
Colosafe® detects altered DNA from colorectal cancer cells that naturally shed into your stool. This advanced DNA technology can identify cancer markers early, often before symptoms develop.
The test uses a highly sensitive laboratory method called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect hypermethylated syndecan-2 (SDC2) DNA in a stool sample. A positive result is returned if SDC2 methylation is detected, indicating a higher risk of bowel cancer.
Colosafe® is recommended for adults at average risk of bowel cancer, those with a family history of the disease, or anyone experiencing symptoms that concern them.
Colosafe® will be available for order soon. To register your interest and be notified when ordering opens, please visit our Contact Us page.
Colosafe® is non‑invasive and there are no physical risks from collecting a small stool sample at home. As with any screening test, false positives and false negatives can occur. A positive Colosafe result should be followed by colonoscopy.
A positive result means we've detected DNA changes that require follow-up. We strongly recommend consulting your doctor immediately for next steps.
A negative result provides 99.8% confidence that you don't have bowel cancer1. We recommend retesting every 2-3 years to maintain your peace of mind.
No preparation needed. Just follow the simple instructions in your kit when you're ready to collect your sample.
