Sometimes, obtaining standard samples
such as blood or cheek swabs is not a possibility. In
these instances, unusual samples, can be submitted to
see if DNA can be obtained Genelex is a market leader
in DNA testing and our success rate in finding DNA in
unusual samples is very high.
This is the procedure for this type of
test:
1) Contact a DNA Testing Consultant at
800-523-3080 to set up the testing and obtain the proper
paperwork.
2) Submit the sample to find out if we
can get DNA from it. This process will take approximately
3-4 weeks and costs $550.00 per sample. Bone or teeth
is $800.
3) IF we can get DNA from the sample, we will then need
a cheek swab sample from the person with which you are
trying to match the DNA such as the sample's potential
father. Matching the DNA takes approximately 5 working
days and costs an additional $250.00-$795 depending
on the relationship being tested.
