Selecting an accredited DNA testing laboratory is essential for several reasons. Firstly, accreditation serves as a mark of legitimacy and trustworthiness. It assures you that the laboratory meets stringent standards and follows established protocols to ensure accurate and reliable testing.

Accreditation also guarantees the highest quality of testing. Accredited laboratories undergo comprehensive evaluations by reputable organizations to assess their proficiency and competence. By choosing an accredited laboratory, you can have confidence in the precision and integrity of your test results.

At Genetrack, we take pride in being one of the few DNA laboratories worldwide to have received all major internationally recognized and prestigious DNA laboratory accreditations. These include ISO/IEC 17025, Standards Council of Canada (SCC), American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), College of American Pathologists (CAP), and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) , a testament to our commitment to upholding the highest standards in DNA testing.

A DNA Sibling Test is typically used when there is a need to establish a biological relationship between potential siblings and the alleged parents are not available for testing. This could be for personal reasons, such as confirming family relationships, or for legal reasons, such as inheritance disputes or immigration cases.

Yes, the home DNA test is just as accurate as the legal DNA test. Both tests are performed in our accredited laboratory and use the same advanced technology and rigorous testing procedures to analyze the DNA samples. The results from both tests are equally accurate and reliable.

The main difference between the two tests is not the accuracy of the results, but the method of sample collection and the documentation process. For a home DNA test, you collect the samples yourself at home, while for a legal DNA test, the sample collection must be witnessed by a neutral third party, such as a medical professional or a legal representative, to maintain a chain of custody. This chain of custody process is what makes the results of a legal DNA test admissible in court.

If you need the test results for legal purposes, such as child custody cases, child support disputes, inheritance claims, or immigration applications, you would need to order the legal DNA test. If you're simply seeking to confirm a biological relationship for personal knowledge, the home DNA test would be sufficient.

If the participants live in different cities, you can split the kit and send the components to each party for sample collection. Each component has a barcode to ensure the samples are tested together when they arrive at the laboratory. Even if the samples are collected separately, they will still be tested together once they arrive at the laboratory.

No, our at-home sibling test kit allows you to collect DNA samples from the comfort of your own home. The kit includes all the necessary materials and instructions for sample collection. Once you’ve collected the samples, you simply send them back to our lab for testing.

Yes, there is no age limit for DNA testing so the test can be performed on infants as well as adults. The DNA sample is collected using a simple and painless cheek swab.

The DNA Sibling Test can provide the likelihood that alleged siblings are full siblings (sharing both parents), half siblings (sharing one parent), or not related at all. However, it cannot definitively determine which parent the siblings share. If you need to determine paternity or maternity, a DNA paternity or maternity test is recommended.
