DNA Relationship Testing

Everyone is born with a unique genetic blueprint known as DNA. A child inherits half of his/her genes (DNA) from the biological mother and half from the biological father. Parentage can be determined through a highly sophisticated analysis of the genetic probes from testing the Mother, Child and Alleged Father. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) Relationship Testing is the most accurate and definitive method of proving or disproving familial relationship.

As an American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) accredited laboratory, we have professional coordinators who can assist you in arranging all aspects of the relationship testing process. The collection process involves buccal swabs to collect cells from the inner cheek. Our network of collection sites throughout the world enables us to schedule an appointment that is convenient for all parties.

All parties are identified, photographed and finger printed to ensure a secure and unbroken chain-of-custody. Results are available within 2 weeks after receipt of all of the samples. An easy to understand, notarized report of the results can be mailed to the client(s), attorney(s) and/or designated representatives with proper written authorization. All client relationships and results are strictly confidential; no results are disclosed over the phone.
