WHAT IS DNA AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
DNA is the genetic material that contains the code of life.
Every individual has a unique DNA code that can be used to identify them. Because of this unique identifier, DNA testing is used today for a wide range of purposes, from resolving paternity disputes to solving crimes.
DNA testing relies on the collection of a sample with the most common and convenient methods used today being cheek (buccal) swabs, blood sample collection, and hair strand collection.
All of our laboratory partners use stringent scientific methods along with the most up to date lab technology to provide you with both precision and accuracy.
OUR DNA SERVICES INCLUDE:
• A full suite of DNA testing for all relationships including; maternity, paternity, sibling-ship, aunt/ uncle, and distant relatives testing
• Pre/ Post natal DNA testing
• Forensic analysis
• Immigration tests
• Post-mortem identification tests
• Drug and alcohol testing
We partner with world leading laboratories to provide all of our DNA testing services and to maintain the highest levels of testing integrity.
The turn-around time from collection of the tests to results is seven days or less.
When providing the test results we can deliver these to you in a range of different methods, including via e-mail, text messages or through an online portal.
WHAT IS PRE-NATAL DNA ANALYSIS AND HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Pre-natal DNA testing is the most accurate non-invasive method used to determine the paternity of a baby before birth. This is an advanced procedure that presents no risk to either mother or unborn child.
Traditionally, embryonic fluid was taken from the womb invasively i.e using a needle.
With our advanced testing using micro array technology we can preserve and analyse the baby’s DNA that is found within in the mother’s bloodstream.
