About this test
A DNA result is only admissible if the identity of every participant was verified and the sample never left documented custody. Our collectors photograph and verify government identification for each party, complete the chain-of-custody paperwork, and seal specimens in tamper-evident packaging. We have long-standing experience supporting family court matters in New York, including collections for the Bronx Family Court.
