Consumer Partners

Working with DNA has traditionally been a resource-intensive and cost-prohibitive endeavor, requiring specialized knowledge and complex logistics. Helix is the only platform that removes all of these barriers—we'll handle the sample collection, CLIA/CAP lab operations, and secure data storage so that you can focus on creating a great experience for your customers.


By hosting an entire platform of products across multiple categories—including Ancestry, Health, Wellness and Entertainment—Helix is making DNA learning accessible for everyone. Every user can explore products from all of our world-class partners with just a single sample, which means you'll be instantly connected with an engaged pool of customers who are excited to improve their lives through DNA.
