DNA Forensic Testing including Hair DNA Test. Specialised service.

DNA Forensic Testing Services

In cases where it is not possible to obtain the DNA samples through the standard oral swab we supply with our home dna test kit, easyDNA is able to offer a state of the art DNA Forensic Testing service that is able to process a wide range of discreet DNA samples in order to obtain usable DNA. These discreet samples can be used for our complete range of DNA tests, including our standard DNA paternity test, however they are not normally applicable for legal DNA tests due to the chain of custody requirements.

Situations where DNA forensic tests may be used include cases where the alleged father is deceased, but biological samples such as hair or fingernails are available. Hair DNA testing is one of the more commonly requested service. We recommend that you contact our technical team to discuss your case and quote you accordingly.

The list below highlights our complete range of discreet samples that may be submitted for testing, the additional cost per test as well as the expected DNA extraction success rate per sample. Discreet samples terms and conditions should also be reviewed prior to sending the samples.
