International DNA paternity testing firm easyDNA has seen a substantial increase in cross-border DNA testing as it continues expanding its operations into more countries. Sydney, AUSTRALIA - 01/09/2008 International DNA testing company easyDNA has noted substantial increases in DNA testing on people living in different countries. DNA testing is used privately to establish biological relationships such as paternity, and it seems that an increasing number of tests involve coordination of samples from different countries. easyDNA Sales and Marketing Director Andrew Alexander commented that "As our expansion into the global market increases, we are noticing a substantial growth in business involving cross-border samples. As we increase our activity over a wider geographical area, customers are feeling more confident in our ability to meet their needs involving the coordination of DNA testing on samples from more than one country. In fact, sometimes we carry out screening of samples where the subjects tested are based in different continents. "We have now set up easyDNA offices in 14 countries to enable us to carry out this cross-border work much faster and offer a better service to our clients. In a business where speed can be critical, we can now process such orders significantly more quickly than our competitors and offer a level of individual customer service possible only through clients being able to send their samples directly to their local easyDNA office. Our offices can ensure that customers receive their DNA testing kits with the minimum of delay, even next day in some cases, and also in the language of the customer if requested." The increase in this type of testing has prompted easyDNA to develop internal procedures robust enough to ensure that no test is carried out until all samples have been received from each individual involved regardless of their country of origin. They are all logged in, grouped and labeled, and each individual is informed when their sample has been received. Most cross-border DNA testing involves samples from two countries, although the company has handled orders involving samples from four different countries over three continents. |
