Laboratory Accreditations and Standards
The IDENTIGENE DNA testing laboratory participates in several proficiency and accreditation programs to ensure the highest degree of quality available in the industry. Our DNA Testing Laboratory undergoes regular voluntary evaluations by independent auditors to ensure that your paternity test and all other DNA test results comply with accepted standards and practices. We employ system controls and checks and balances to provide Test Assured results each time.
In December, 2016, IDENTIGENE was purchased by DNA Diagnostics Center (DDC), one of the largest and most well-regarded private DNA labs in the United States. All laboratory work is now being performed at DDC in Fairfield, Ohio, with the same high level of expertise, the latest equipment, and top-notch analysis. Learn more about the DDC lab.
