Another application is for confirming if the samples submitted for a paternity test performed by another company are the correct samples of the individuals that should have participated. In such cases, the new DNA profile can be compared to the existing profile and if it is the same person the profile should be identical.
How does the DNA Profiling Service Work?
Our DNA profiles are analysed by our ISO17025 accredited partner laboratory using state-of-the-art genetic identification systems and based on the analysis of 16 different genetic markers. The results are highly accurate and reliable, and are identical to those used in DNA Forensic applications for human identification purposes. Results are available within 5-7 working days after arrival of the samples at our laboratory (for faster results view our Express Service Option).
We will send you a report detailing your unique 16 genetic marker profile. A list of the genetic markers used in our testing can be viewed in our Sample DNA Test Results presented in this section.
easyDNA offers different types of DNA Profile Testing :
DNA Profile for Informative Purposes
A person requesting this test will collect his own DNA Sample through the collection the kit provided by easyDNA. The samples will be sent back to the laboratory for analysis and the DNA profile is issued. The document can be used for informative purposes but has no legal validity. The cost of the Informative DNA Profile is £99 for one person.
DNA Profile for Legal/Official Purposes
A DNA Profile required for Legal or Official purposes, such as to be attached to a will or else to be used for current or future identification of an individual, requires that proper Chain-of-Custody procedures be followed. In this case a special kit will be sent to the client, and sampling will have to be done by a qualified GP or official who will be responsible for verifying the identity of the testee and processing of the samples.
Once the sample is processed, easyDNA will issue a notarized copy of the DNA profile which can be stored in a secure location or deposited with your legal advisor. The cost of the Legal DNA Profile is £199 for one person.
