Our Top 5 FAQs?

What is the difference between court admissible and private testing?

The results of a court admissible test include legal documentation and, therefore, can be use in a court of law and for other legal reasons. The results of a private test can be used only for personal knowledge and will not hold up in court. We offer both options.

Do you need a court order to have a court admissible test performed?

No, a court order is not required. Anyone can schedule a court admissible DNA test. In fact, many individuals have court admissible testing performed for personal knowledge only. Remember, the results of a DNA test never expire. Although you may not need the results to be court admissible now, you may in the future.

Do I need to schedule an appointment?

Yes, you must contact us to schedule an appointment. Certain paperwork has to be prepared prior to the test being performed, therefore, we do not accept walk-ins. Same day appointments are available.

What makes a test court admissible?

A combination of two things make a test court admissible. First, the collection process. The sample collection for a court admissible test must be performed by a neutral third party. A form of identification is required, such as, photo ID, passport, birth certificate, social security card, etc. Also, a photo is taken of all parties participating in the DNA test.Second, the laboratory performing the DNA test must be an AABB accredited facility. All of our testing is performed by accredited laboratories.

How are samples collected for DNA testing?

The standard, and preferred, collection is a buccal swab. This procedure involves the use of a cotton swab to collect cheek cells from the inside of both the left and right cheeks of all parties being tested. This method is safe, painless and very effective. Other samples that can be used include blood, hair, finger nails, toe nails, etc.
