Quality

Our laboratory is equipped with the most advanced instrumentation for serological screening and forensic DNA analysis providing a streamlined throughput while maintaining unparalleled DNA quality. Our data package has excellent ease of review that can be tailored to a client's specific needs.

The DNA Worldwide Laboratory follows strict procedures and holds itself to the highest quality standards.

It is accredited to ISO 17025: 2008 for DNA testing.

Reliability

Our scientific team has never missed a 20-day turnaround time deadline for outsourced DNA casework. A 10 and 15 day turn around time service is available. We have a highly sophisticated Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to monitor all specimens through the entire laboratory process, ensuring complete chain of custody.

Experience

Our forensic team has years of combined public and private forensic laboratory experience. The analysts are experienced with interpretation of complex mixtures and low copy number DNA profiles. Our highly skilled forensic staff have extensive experience in extracting DNA from difficult samples. We recognise that each forensic sample may have its own unique challenges that must be taken into consideration in order to maximise the amount of DNA extracted.

Testing Capability

Our forensic staff has considerable expertise in performing Y-STR analysis and interpretation in forensic casework. This technology can be more sensitive than STR analysis. Y-STR analysis can supplement STR analysis to more clearly distinguish a male contributor in a low level mixture.

The DNA Worldwide Forensics Laboratory offers a comprehensive expert witness testimony service. Our knowledge of the legal applications of DNA evidence enables us to concisely describe critical aspects of our process, including chain of custody, security, proper evidence handling, and quality control. The forensic staff members have been trained to clearly explain in understandable terms the technical points of DNA analysis, such as developing STR profiles and statistical calculations.
