Become a donor!

Complete a short application form with your name and email address. This is not a registration — we do not collect health-related or identifiable personal data at this stage. The sole purpose is to provide you with a link to the Donor Screening Questionnaire. You'll immediately receive a pseudoanonymised Donor ID (e.g., D1003550).

(No health data, no Social Security Number, no address — just your name, email and some basic data to send you the questionnaire link.)

You'll receive a link to the DSQ — a comprehensive health and lifestyle questionnaire covering 99 clinical questions across 7 categories: Early Life, Body Composition, Diet & Nutrition, General Health, Sleep Quality, GI Function, and Lifestyle. The questionnaire is fully pseudoanonymised.

(Your responses are scored using our V5 weighted scoring system across 7 clinical categories with individual weight multipliers (×1.0 to ×1.5).)

Your responses are automatically scored and reviewed by our medical team. You'll receive a Donor Screening Certificate with your total score, category breakdown, eligibility status, and Super-Donor classification (if applicable). If any exclusion criteria are triggered, you'll be informed with a clear explanation.

(The DSQ contains 20 exclusion questions that automatically disqualify candidates — regardless of total score.)

If your DSQ evaluation is positive, we invite you to complete the full donor registration. This is where we collect the personal and health-related data necessary for the laboratory screening and contractual process: date of birth, gender, address, and medical contact information. Your data is protected under GDPR and linked exclusively to your pseudoanonymised Donor ID.

Registered donors are invited for comprehensive laboratory testing: blood panel (CBC, liver/kidney function, infectious disease screening for HIV, HBV, HCV, Syphilis, CMV, EBV), urine analysis, stool bacteriology & parasitology, and microbiome profiling via Dynamap metagenomics.

If your laboratory results meet our criteria, you're invited for a personal consultation. We discuss your results, answer questions, and sign the Donation Agreement, Privacy Policy, and Data Processing Consent. Donation may only begin after this step is completed.

Collections happen at home using a hygienic, easy-to-use device we provide. The standard schedule cycle is 5 consecutive days in each of two consecutive weeks (10 collections total). Each takes only minutes.

Your donation is processed, encapsulated, and stored under strict conditions. A safety quarantine period ensures any infection not yet detectable at the time of donation can be identified before the material is released.

After quarantine, you undergo a second round of laboratory testing to confirm you were infection-free at the time of donation. Once cleared, you become an active MicroBiome Bank donor — with periodic health check-ups at our expense, regular DSQ updates, and the opportunity to continue donating.
