TickCheck™ Tick Testing - Order Form

At no extra charge, you can send us up to 5 ticks of the same species, taken off of the same person or pet. We will run the exact same tests you ordered on all of these specimens, at the same time. When you get your results, they will reflect whether any tick in the group of ticks you sent us is a carrier of each specific pathogen we test for. Because we will test all of the ticks simultaneously, it is not possible to tell which ticks are carriers of which pathogens. If you have multiple ticks from different people or pets, or want results for each tick, please place separate orders.

Powassan Virus Test — Test for the Powassan virus Lineage II (Deer tick virus)

Applicable to deer ticks and western blacklegged ticks only. Note that the incubation process for the Powassan virus (POWV) is separate from other pathogenic tests. Therefore, we cannot perform the POWV test after the main testing process has already begun. For this reason, we recommend the comprehensive panel, which includes the POWV test. You may also order it here as an additional option from the start.

Priority Processing — I want my test to receive priority processing

When your specimen is received by the lab, we will prioritize your order to get you your test results as fast as possible. Orders with priority processing can expect results in 24-36 hours after we receive your tick. That's up to twice as fast as standard processing.

Blood Identification — I want to know whether the blood inside the tick is from a human or an animal

We can determine whether the blood inside a tick is from a human or an animal. However, this is not possible if the tick is male (non-feeding) or unengorged with blood. In the case the tick is male or unengorged, we will refund you. Please note that this test must be done before the tick is prepared for DNA testing.

Tick Removal Card — I want a tick remover that fits in my wallet

We'll immediately mail you specialized tick removal card that fits snugly in your wallet. This tick removal card is extremely effective at removing ticks off skin and fur.

Mailed Lab Report — I want a printed lab report to be mailed to me

In addition to an automatic email and text message, you will be mailed a copy of your official TickCheck laboratory results report describing your test results.
