Clinical overview
About RNA Sequencing
Before your appointment
Preparation & sample collection
Follow the instructions you are given
Fasting, timing and medicine restrictions differ between investigations. The instructions for your specific request are confirmed when you book.
Bring your identification
A valid photo ID is required at collection so that your sample is matched correctly to your record.
Tell us about medicines
Prescription medicines, supplements and recent procedures can affect how an investigation is scheduled or interpreted — please mention them.
Ask before collection
If anything about preparation is unclear, contact us before your appointment. Preparation errors can affect reporting times.

Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about RNA Sequencing testing at DNA Labs UAE. This information is general and does not replace advice from your treating clinician.
How do I choose the right RNA Sequencing test?
The correct investigation depends on what your clinician is trying to establish. Review the specimen type and turnaround time below, then confirm the choice with your treating doctor before booking.
What specimen is required?
Specimen requirements are listed for each investigation. If a request involves more than one sample type, our team will confirm what is needed at the time of booking.
Do you offer home sample collection in Dubai and the UAE?
Yes. Home collection can be arranged across Dubai and the wider UAE. Availability and appointment windows vary by location, so please confirm when you book.
How long do results take?
Turnaround depends on the investigation and the method used. The expected reporting time is confirmed with you before collection.
Is there anything I need to do before sample collection?
Some investigations require fasting, a specific collection time, or avoiding certain medicines or activities. Preparation details are shared when you book — please follow them and ask if anything is unclear.
How will I receive my report?
Reports are issued as secure digital documents and can be shared with your referring clinician on request. Please review results with a qualified clinician who can interpret them in context.
