Our laboratory can process various types of samples for DNA testing: Buccal swabs, FTA blood cards, and fresh whole blood are considered standard samples. Samples other than standard samples are considered "unusual samples" and must be processed through a viability test to determine if there is sufficient DNA to proceed with a paternity or other type of relationship test.
Turnaround Time
- Five (5) business days from receipt of samples
NOTE: Paternity and relationship testing performed following a viability test require additional processing time and fees. Review the unusual sample fee schedule for pricing and success rate of samples.
