Our DNA Testing Services
Explore our range of DNA testing services. If you're not sure which test you need, our team can help you learn about the differences.
DNA Paternity Testing
Paternity DNA testing helps assess whether a tested man is the biological father of a child. Personal and legally documented testing options have different collection and documentation requirements, and we can help explain the available choices.
Court-Ordered Paternity Testing
When a court requires biological parentage testing, the collection process and documentation must meet the applicable requirements. Contact us to discuss your case and confirm the appropriate legal testing procedure.
Maternity DNA Testing
Maternity testing helps assess the biological relationship between a child and a potential mother. It may help answer questions about biological parentage in personal or other appropriate circumstances.
Relationship DNA Testing
Biological relationships can sometimes be assessed when direct parentage testing isn't available. The right test depends on which relatives can participate and the relationship being investigated.
Sibling DNA Testing
Sibling DNA testing can help assess whether individuals share one or both biological parents. The type of test and the participants available affect how the relationship can be evaluated.
Grandparent DNA Testing
Grandparent testing can help assess a biological relationship between a grandparent and grandchild, particularly when a parent is unavailable for direct testing.
Avuncular DNA Testing
Avuncular testing helps assess whether a person may be the biological aunt or uncle of a child. It may be considered when direct parentage testing is not possible.
Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing (NIPP)
NIPP testing may help assess biological paternity during pregnancy. It generally uses a blood sample from the pregnant mother and a DNA sample from the potential father. Eligibility, timing, and sample requirements depend on the laboratory and test selected.
Ancestry DNA Testing
Ancestry testing can offer insights into genetic heritage and ancestral origins, depending on the service selected. Ask us which ancestry testing options are available and what information each test is designed to provide.
Ancestry Lab Testing
Explore laboratory-based testing options related to genetic ancestry and family history. The type of information provided depends on the specific test and its laboratory methodology.
Deceased Person DNA Testing
When a loved one has passed away and questions about biological relationships remain, deceased-person DNA testing may help assess a family connection. Options depend on available samples, authorization, and laboratory requirements. Learn about deceased DNA testing.
Post-Mortem DNA Testing
Post-mortem testing explores DNA analysis involving samples from a deceased person. Potential uses, suitable samples, permissions, and collection procedures depend on the circumstances and the specific service.
Immigration DNA Testing
Immigration DNA testing may help document a biological family relationship when requested by an immigration authority. Follow the requesting agency's instructions and confirm identity verification, collection, and documentation requirements before arranging testing.
Forensic DNA Testing
Forensic DNA testing examines suitable biological material for identification or investigative purposes. Sample handling, chain of custody, and whether results are appropriate for use as evidence depend on the case and laboratory requirements.
DNA Profiling
DNA profiling creates a genetic profile from a suitable sample for specific identification or other approved applications. The intended use determines which testing method and procedures are appropriate.
Y-STR DNA Testing
Y-STR testing examines markers on the Y chromosome and may help investigate paternal-line relationships between males. It can be useful in certain family relationship or ancestry inquiries.
Genetic Reconstruction Testing
When a parent is unavailable for testing, genetic reconstruction may use DNA results from available relatives to help assess a biological relationship. The appropriate approach depends on the relatives who can participate.
Twin Zygosity Testing
Twin zygosity testing helps determine whether twins are genetically identical or fraternal. It can provide clarity for families who want to understand their twins' biological relationship.
Infidelity DNA Testing
Specialized testing may examine submitted items for detectable biological material. Findings depend on the sample and test; DNA results alone may not establish when, how, or by whom contact occurred.
Infidelity Lab Tests
Laboratory analysis of suitable samples may help identify detectable biological material. Contact us before submitting an item so we can discuss sample suitability, testing options, and the limitations of possible findings.
Hair DNA Testing
Hair may be suitable for DNA analysis when usable biological material is present, such as tissue attached to a root. Not every hair sample provides usable DNA, so suitability should be checked before testing.
Fetal Sex Testing
Certain prenatal testing options can provide information about fetal sex. Availability, testing windows, sample requirements, and the information reported depend on the specific test and laboratory.
Allergy DNA Testing
Ask us about the availability and scope of genetic tests related to allergy-associated traits. Genetic testing does not diagnose every allergy or replace clinical allergy evaluation; the meaning of results depends on the specific test.
Drug Testing
Drug testing may be used for certain screening needs, depending on the service available. Test types, specimen requirements, detection windows, and reporting procedures vary. Contact us to confirm whether your requested testing is offered.
Home DNA Test Kits
Home DNA test kits can offer a convenient way to collect samples according to the kit's instructions. Personal-use kits may not meet legal requirements; court-related testing generally needs identity verification and a documented collection process.
