EBOGENES Ebovir™ ctDNA Cancer Screening Blood Test
EBOGENES Ebovir™ ctDNA Cancer Screening Blood Test
Couldn't load pickup availability
A blood test analysing circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA). Panel details to be provided by the laboratory.
What it tests
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) fragments and methylation signatures in the blood for Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED). It identifies active somatic mutations and the predicted tissue of origin for various cancers before symptoms appear.
How it works
Order → blood draw at a partner clinic → laboratory analysis → report reviewed by a licensed physician.
What's in the box
No kit shipped – sample is collected at a clinic
At a glance
- Sample: Peripheral whole blood
- Collection: Clinic
- Report time: 5–10 business days after the laboratory receives the sample
- Test type: Screening
- Who it is for: Adults
Storage & handling
Not applicable – sample collected and handled by the clinic. The clinic ships the blood sample to the laboratory overnight (FedEx).
Laboratory & report
All analyses are conducted in-house at the EBOGENES laboratory. Each final report is prepared by our science team and clinically reviewed by a licensed physician.
FAQ
What sample do I provide, and can I do it at home? A peripheral whole blood sample, collected at a partner clinic. Collection is not done at home.
How long until I get my report? 5–10 business days after the laboratory receives your sample, plus overnight shipping from the clinic to the laboratory.
Is this a diagnosis? No. It is a screening test, not a diagnosis. It analyzes ctDNA but cannot detect all cancers, and a negative result does not mean you do not have cancer.
Can this test diagnose cancer? No. It is a screening test, not a diagnosis. It cannot confirm or rule out cancer. A positive result must be confirmed by clinical testing. Always discuss with your healthcare provider.
What happens to my data? Your genetic data and report are stored in Canada. Samples are destroyed within 30 days after your report is issued, unless you consent to longer storage. You can request deletion at any time by emailing info@ebovir.ca or through your customer portal; we complete requests within 30 days, except for records we must keep by law. We never use your sample or data for research
This is a screening test, not a diagnosis. It analyzes circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) but cannot detect all cancers, and a negative result does not mean you do not have cancer. Some findings may be uncertain and require clinical confirmation. Results should be discussed with your healthcare provider and, where appropriate, a genetic counsellor or oncologist. Screening / information test – not a diagnosis. Discuss results with your healthcare provider and, where appropriate, a genetic counsellor or oncologist.
Data stored in Canada (AWS ca-central-1).
All 6.4 billion letters of your DNA — read, stored, and yours to keep.
Most consumer DNA tests sample a few hundred thousand positions. Whole genome sequencing reads the entire thing at 30× depth, and hands you the files at the end. No subscription required to keep them.

How it runs
Kit arrives
Day 0，Saliva collection takes about five minutes. Avoid eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth for thirty minutes beforehand — that's the only preparation required.
Sample ships back
Day 1–2， Prepaid return envelope is included. Saliva samples are stable at room temperature, so there's no cold chain to manage on your end.
DNA extraction and quality check
Week 1，We extract and assess DNA quality before sequencing. If a sample fails QC, we send a replacement kit at no charge rather than sequencing something that won't yield reliable calls.
Sequencing and analysis
Week 2–6，Sequencing, alignment to GRCh38, and variant calling. This is the longest stage and we'd rather state it accurately than quote a number we miss.
Reports and files released
Week 2–6， Your reports and all three file formats become available together. You'll get an email the moment they're ready.
No. Ebogenes whole genome sequencing is offered for research and personal informational use. It is not a diagnostic test, it is not a substitute for clinical genetic testing, and it should not be used to make medical decisions on its own. If a finding concerns you, bring it to a physician or a certified genetic counsellor — that's what the files are for.
Each position in your genome is read approximately thirty times on average. Sequencing makes errors, so reading a position once tells you little; reading it thirty times lets a variant call rest on consensus. 30× is the widely used standard for reliable variant calling — below it, calls get noticeably less dependable.
Our reports flag findings for follow-up; they do not diagnose. A variant of uncertain significance is a flag, not a finding — many are later reclassified as benign. We'd rather tell you plainly that something needs a professional look than dress up an uncertain result as an answer.
Sequencing and storage happen at our Laval, Québec facility. Your data stays in Canada and is subject to Canadian privacy law. We do not sell your genetic data, and we do not share it with insurers, employers, or research programmes without your explicit, separate consent. You can request deletion at any time.
No. Your reports and all three file formats remain accessible without any ongoing payment. Download them and store your own copy if you prefer — that's the point of giving you FASTQ.
