Below, we answer the most common questions to help you understand the benefits, process, and requirements of becoming a Terogene DNA Testing Distributor.
What is the Terogene Distributor Program?
The Terogene Distributor Program allows pharmacies, clinics, and hospitals to serve as sample collection centres for Terogene DNA tests. This means you help customers collect and send DNA samples while Terogene and its accredited partner lab handle laboratory testing and result processing.
Who can apply to become a distributor?
Only licensed pharmacies, hospitals, and medical clinics in Nigeria are eligible. Applicants must have a clean, professional environment with at least one private room suitable for sample collection and storage.
Why should I become a Terogene distributor?
By becoming a Terogene distributor, you:
Expand your services beyond traditional healthcare.
Earn additional revenue through commissions on each test.
Offer trusted DNA testing from an ISO-17025 accredited lab in Germany.
Attract new customers seeking reliable DNA testing solutions.
Receive full training and marketing support.
What will my role be as a distributor?
As a distributor, your primary responsibilities include:
Collecting DNA samples using Terogene-approved kits.
Ensuring chain of custody for legal and immigration tests.
Assisting customers with registration and test selection.
Shipping samples to any of Terogene’s designated locations within Nigeria.
Will I be performing the DNA test myself?
No. Your role is limited to sample collection and shipping. The actual DNA testing is conducted at our ISO-17025 accredited laboratory in Germany.
How do I collect a sample?
We use a non-invasive buccal (cheek) swab method. Full training is provided to ensure compliance with best practices.
What types of DNA tests can I offer as a distributor?
Our distributors offer the following tests:
Paternity DNA Testing (Legal & Informational)
Maternity DNA Testing
Sibling & Extended Family Testing
Immigration DNA Testing
How do customers pay for the DNA tests?
Customers must pay directly on the Terogene website before the test is conducted. Distributors are not allowed to collect payments.
How much can I earn as a distributor?
Distributors earn a 10% commission per completed test. Earnings depend on the number of samples collected and the type of tests ordered. Distributors typically earn around NGN30,000 per sample collected.
What are the startup costs?
There are no upfront costs to join. However, you must have a clean facility and trained staff for sample collection.
Can I charge customers an extra service fee?
No. Test prices are set by Terogene to maintain fairness and transparency.
Do I need to sign a contract?
Yes. All distributors must sign an official Distributor Agreement outlining their roles, responsibilities, and commission structure. You will receive the Distributor Agreement in the next step if your application is successful.
Is DNA testing legal in Nigeria?
Yes. DNA testing is legal and widely accepted in Nigeria for personal, legal, and immigration purposes.
Can I offer DNA testing services outside my location?
Your distribution jurisdiction is limited to a 2km radius around your registered location. Special considerations are only possible if your business operates in multiple locations.
What if a customer requests a legal DNA test?
For legal and immigration tests, sample collection must be witnessed by an approved professional to maintain the chain of custody. Approved professionals include Pharmacists, Medical Doctors, and Medical Laboratory Technicians.
Am I responsible for test results?
No. Terogene and its partner laboratory handle all testing and result analysis. You are only responsible for collecting and shipping samples correctly. To ensure privacy, test results are sent directly to the customer by email for non-legal tests. For legal tests, the result will be sent directly to the responsible entity (Embassies or Courts).
What happens if a test sample is lost or damaged?
If a sample is lost or damaged due to distributor negligence, you may be required to assist the customer in collecting a new sample at no extra charge.
How do I send collected samples to the lab?
All samples must be sent to Terogene’s designated Nigerian office within the stipulated timeframe. Shipping fees are included in your commission.
What support does Terogene provide to distributors?
Terogene offers:
Full training on sample collection & shipping.
Marketing materials & co-branding options.
