Sample Collection
At home test
This test can be completed in the privacy of your own home. Upon receipt of payment we send you a sampling kit along with an illustrated stepâby step guide to collecting a sample, and a paid return envelope. Because the sample is not taken by a neutral third party and because sample handling cannot be verified, the chain of custody for these samples is not typically considered intact and these results should not be considered suitable for use in court of law.
In-laboratory test
For admissibility in court, careful documentation of the chain of custody is required. To meet this requirement we verify and document information on individuals providing samples prior to sample submission. Verification of identity and sample collection occurs at our laboratory. To learn more about this service or to arrange for in-laboratory testing please contact one of our forensic scientists.
