Frequently Asked Questions and Our Answers about the myCeGaT Portal

You will only need to print and sign your patient’s Declaration of Consent and add it to your sample shipment to us. You can download the Declaration of Consent during the ordering process. Please do not send any documents you have already uploaded to the portal. You can find our sample requirements, shipping address, and all further logistics information here.

After you have submitted your order, you can access the patient consent from the overview table via the “…” icon and the “Download consent” selection.

You can always see the current status of your analysis in the overview table in the “Status” column. For some statuses, you can find more detailed information in the Tool Tips by hovering over the “(i)” icon next to the status name.

You can set your default notification preferences in your account profile (top right) in the “Notification” tab, which will then be pre-selected for each order. You can always adjust your notifications for each individual order at two points: first, at the end of each new ordering process and second, in the overview table via the “…” icon and “Order notifications” selection of submitted orders.

You can always adjust your sharing preferences for each individual order at two points: First, at the end of each ordering process, and second, in the overview table via the “…” icon and “Share order” selection of submitted orders. Please note that sharing an order allows your colleague to access all uploaded files, the order summary, and – as soon as available – CeGaT’s diagnostic report. Important: by forwarding a sharing invitation to a colleague, you confirm that you have the required consent from the patient to share the order and its results.

For colleagues you frequently wish to share your orders with, we offer you a Quick Selection List. You can add colleagues to your Quick Selection List in your account profile (top right) in the tab “Quick Selection List”. Colleagues will then become available in your Quick Selection List at the end of each ordering process for fast and easy selection. Important: by forwarding a sharing invitation to a colleague, you confirm that you have the required consent from the patient to share the order and its results.

You must first register in the portal to have access to the order shared with you. To register, please follow the instructions in the email you received. After Login, you can find the order shared with you in your “Shared Orders” table. You can switch between “My Orders” and “Shared Orders” using the radio buttons on the top left. You can view and access the medical reports and order summary of the order via the “eye” icon and the CeGaT diagnostic report via the download button once it is available.

Orders shared with you are listed in a separate overview table from your own orders. You can switch between “My Orders” and “Shared Orders” using the radio buttons on the top left.

Please check your order’s current status in the overview table. A “Draft” you can edit or delete yourself; no need to notify us. Once your order is submitted or already in progress (i. e. any status other than “Draft”), you cannot change your order via the portal anymore. For any changes you would like to make to your order, please contact us at sales@cegat.de for germline diagnostics or at tumor@cegat.de for tumor diagnostics naming your patient’s Order ID and the changes we should make. We will then get in touch with you.

If you have any questions about how to use the portal, how to place an order, or where to find a function or setting, please feel free to reach out to us at my@cegat.de. We are happy to assist you.
