Sample switches can occur during biopsies, blood tests and urine tests. DNA testing can be used to determine if the DNA type from the paraffin block, biopsy slide, blood sample, or urine sample is consistent with the DNA type from the alleged donor of the sample. Additional biological samples can also be tested, please contact us to discuss the specifics of your case.
