legal tests

We are an AABB-accredited laboratory, which permits us to administer DNA testing for legal purposes. This more stringent lab process is advised whenever the test results are needed in court or other official matters. Strict procedures must be followed when performing a legal test to regulate sample collection and preserve the integrity of final DNA reporting.

  • Sample Collection
    DNA samples are to be secured by our qualified third-party collectors.

  • Chain of Custody
    Legal documents must accompany the certified samples in transit.

  • Official Reporting
    A notarized DNA test report backs processed lab results.

    .

Our lab representatives are happy to assist with coordinating a legal DNA test. They will offer guidance on choosing the right service and help schedule the appointment(s) for a certified DNA sample
collection.
