What standards are used to ensure DNA tests are performed correctly?

0

We follow the standards set forth by the AABB for performing DNA parentage tests. Because we use 16 genetic markers, results usually are completely definitive. In the case of any ambiguities (perhaps caused by a poor sample), tests are repeated. Specific procedures are employed to protect against switching of samples and to maintain the confidentiality of our customers.

No. The DNA tests are exactly the same. The difference is that legally-binding tests require a witness, proof of identity, and special chain of custody procedures. The basic Home Test Kit therefore is not legally binding. It is intended as a discrete and private way whereby families can resolve questions without involving outside parties. Discount DNA also offers a Court-Admissible Home Test Kit that requires a disinterested witness to oversee sample collection and verify identities and chain of custody.What is a buccal s
