Three Areas of Forensic DNA Testing

DNA Worldwide is focused on providing DNA analysis in the following three different areas of DNA testing;

• DNA Profile Identification Match: To match an identity between DNA evidence and DNA specimens on a swab.
• Discreet DNA Relationship (Paternity) Testing: To match DNA evidence from an alleged father or child to DNA specimens collected on a swab.
• Forensic and legal case work: To allow Police forces to cope with the growing demand for DNA Testing, our systems are setup to handle all your requirements, providing you the data you require.

:: 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.

It is accredited to ISO 17025: 2005 by FQS for DNA testing and all analyses are performed under TWGDAM/SWGDAM guidelines and Quality Assurance Standards as mandated by the FBI Director.

:: Reliability ::

Our scientific team has never missed a 60-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 over 45 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 has extensive experience in extracting DNA from difficult samples. We recognize that each forensic sample may have its own unique challenges that must be taken into consideration in order to maximize the amount of DNA extracted.

:: Testing Capabilities ::

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 Laboratory, Sorenson Genomics, offers a comprehensive expert witness testimony service. Our staff members possess considerable experience and have been court qualified in over ten states. 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.
