easyDNA is highly experienced in the processing of discreet DNA samples for DNA testing. Through its state of the art DNA Forensic laboratory, we provide Forensic DNA Testing services that can be used in complex forensic cases or else in situations where the sample of the person to be tested is not available.
Normally our DNA tests are performed through the oral DNA swabs we supply with our DNA home test kit which we send you when you place your order for a DNA test. However, situations may arise where it is not possible to obtain the DNA samples through the swab. Through our Forensic DNA Testing service, we can provide an alternative solution and process a wide range of discreet samples. One of the most common service is hair dna testing, however, as you can see from the extensive list below, we are able to process a wide range of samples.
The forensic DNA sevice can be used for our standard DNA paternity test, as well as for the rest of our DNA tests. Once the DNA is obtained from the sample, the testing procedure is the same as when a standard oral swab is used.
A comprehensive list of samples including some general information about the sample is shown below. The table also includes the additional cost payable per sample plus the average DNA extraction success rate. Also review our terms and conditions for sending a discreet DNA sample.
