Why Laboratory Accreditation Matters
Our DNA Testing Accreditations
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our comprehensive accreditation portfolio. Each certification addresses specific aspects of our testing capabilities, creating multiple layers of quality assurance for your peace of mind.
AABB (Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biologics) represents the gold standard for paternity and relationship testing. This accreditation is absolutely essential for legal tests used in court proceedings and immigration cases, demonstrating our adherence to the most stringent standards for sample handling and analysis. When legal accuracy matters most, AABB accreditation ensures your results will stand up to scrutiny.
Standards Council of Canada (SCC) certification confirms that our laboratory meets the specific requirements for testing within Canada. As Canada's national accreditation body, SCC recognition represents a mark of excellence that's respected and trusted across the entire country.
College of American Pathologists (CAP) accreditation is an internationally recognized standard that signifies the highest level of quality assurance in laboratory operations. This certification confirms that we follow industry best practices for laboratory safety, procedures, and quality control, ensuring consistent excellence in every aspect of our work.
Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certification, regulated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, is a U.S. federal requirement that ensures the accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of our test results. This certification demonstrates our compliance with federal standards for clinical testing.
ISO 17025 represents the global benchmark for testing laboratory competence. This international standard certifies that our equipment is properly calibrated and our testing methods are both precise and scientifically validated, ensuring reproducible results you can trust.
Our Guarantee of Accuracy
Every DNA result provided by our laboratory comes with a complete guarantee of accuracy. We achieve this through our Dual Process System, where every single test is independently performed twice by separate teams. Only when both results are identical do we release your findings, ensuring absolute precision in every report.
For paternity tests and maternity tests, our results are definitively conclusive. When a biological relationship exists, we guarantee a probability exceeding 99.9999% - a level of certainty that leaves no room for doubt. When no biological relationship exists, the tested individual is excluded with 100% certainty.
Our twin zygosity tests deliver equally definitive results, determining with complete certainty whether twins are identical or fraternal.
For other relationship tests including siblings, grandparents, aunts/uncles, or cousins, we provide results as statistical likelihood of biological relationships. While these results maintain our high accuracy standards, they are statistical in nature rather than absolute. For the most definitive answers possible, paternity or maternity testing remains the optimal choice when parents are available for testing.
Clear, Understandable Results Every Time
DNA analysis involves complex scientific processes, but we believe your results should be straightforward and accessible. Every report we provide includes the names or aliases of all tested individuals, complete genetic profiles for each person, clear statistical probability of biological relationships, and most importantly, a concise interpretation written in plain language that explains exactly what your results mean.
Your DNA test results represent important information about family relationships and biological connections. Our commitment to accreditation, accuracy, and clarity ensures that when you receive your results, you can trust them completely and understand them fully.
