Our Strengths
Automated Sequencing
Our laboratory utilizes fluorescence laser detection of all PCR products. All sequencing and genotyping is fully automated using the Genotyper and Genescan software.
Advanced Statistical Analysis
Our laboratory employs professional statisticians to oversee all statistical calculations for DNA testing reports. We also employ the world renowned DNA View software from Dr. Charles Brenner for automated analysis of paternity indexes.
Streamlined Testing
Our laboratory follows strict protocols for the acceptance, processing, analysis and reporting for all casework. Upon receipt, all sample barcodes are scanned into our system, an internal tracking document is initiated, and all samples are processed immediately without delay. As a result, clients receive rapid, accurate, and reliable results with no waiting period.
Recognized Quality System
Our laboratory’s quality system undergoes internal auditing annually, external auditing annually. Our testing laboratory is ISO17025 and AABB Accredited and our legal reports are thus recognized internationally and accepted as legal evidence of relationship or non-relationship in courts in US and Canada. Our Quality Manager is a trained Quality Systems auditor and maintains the ongoing compliance of our quality system to national standards.
Proficiency Testing
In addition to rigorous internal and external auditing, our testing laboratory participates in proficiency testing through the College of American Pathologists three times every year to maintain the highest testing standards.
