Lab Accreditation

The Most Accredited DNA Testing Lab In The USA

AABB accredited DNA testing lab- Our lab has more accreditation than any other lab in the USA Whether you buy an informational or legal DNA test at PaternityUSA.com, you can be assured the laboratory performing your DNA test is fully accredited. The fact is that most entities selling relational DNA testing online NEVER perform the actual DNA analysis. In-fact, they just farm the analysis to the lowest bidding lab whom is often unaccredited & out of country. Our kits come to you directly from lab with no middleman handling or perhaps mishandling the kits.

Also, accreditation is very important to you because only accredited labs undergo rigorous surprise inspections. These are set in place to ensure the lab is using proven authorized protocols for its handling and testing of samples. That's why very few labs are actually accredited.

 

 

A DNA test may be the most important test you ever take, only trust an accredited lab for the answer.

 

FULLY ACCREDITED

Full Accreditation, What Does It Matter Anyway?

The fact is, that in order for a DNA test to be admissible in court, the DNA test must be performed by an accredited relational testing laboratory. Further, specific care must be taken regarding the identification of the test participants. Purchasing a DNA test from an unaccredited lab or one that cuts corners with witnesses or ID's is at best a gamble; it may be cheaper, but should you sacrifice quality and/or court admissibility for such an important test?

Before You Buy Your DNA test, Consider These Facts:

  • OUR LAB IS THE LARGEST MOST TRUSTED DNA TESTING LAB IN THE USA, performing more DNA tests than any other DNA testing laboratory as seen on TV.
  • All tests kits include FREE USPS RUSH SHIPPING! You can begin your test the next day. Some competitors want you to create your own swabs using your Q-tips in medicine cabinet, but DON'T RISK COMPROMISED DNA FROM A Q-TIP!
  • Our lab performs all tests in house. Tests are NEVER sent to other labs for processing. If other lab results are not trusted in a court of law, should you trust them in your home?
  • We accept only professional DNA collection of your court admissible DNA test. Some competitors allow you to send the kit to a family friend or neighbor, but THAT IS A BAD IDEA, AND NOT COURT ADMISSIBLE IF DISCOVERED!
  • We do not play bait and switch. Compare the details of what paternityusa.com offers against others, and we're certain you'll agree we provide the best paternity testing service at the lowest prices.

Why trust your important testing issues to an entity that just farms the test to the lowest bidding lab? Choose our "Premium Quality Test" performed at our AABB accredited laboratory. What good is it to save a few dollars, yet receive FALSE RESULTS? A cheap test can end up being extremely costly.

IF THE COURTS DO NOT TRUST THEIR RESULTS, SHOULD YOU TRUST THEM IN YOUR HOME?

The federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program as equal to or more stringent than the government’s own laboratory inspection program. Our laboratory has maintained its accreditation under the CAP program since 2004.

CAP accreditation also requires laboratories to participate in its Proficiency Testing Program, in which CAP sends samples to the laboratories for DNA testing and evaluates the laboratories’ results. Many laboratories participate in this program but do not obtain accreditation, which entails a more rigorous, on-site laboratory inspection. Our lab is one of few laboratories that participate in and have perfectly passed both proficiency testing and laboratory accreditation programs.
