DNA Detective Work : Discretely Resolve Relationship Questions

Thanks to CSI, many people are aware that DNA can be extracted from many samples other than swabs or blood. DNA testing clients use this technology to resolve questions of parentage when discretion is required. DNA is the same in any cell in the body that has a nucleus. So as long as a submitted sample has several intact cells, DNA testing can be performed.

Samples that DNA can be extracted from include:


· Dental floss or toothbrush
· Licked stamps or envelopes
· Hair with roots
· Cigarette butts
· Unwashed undergarments
· Cup or bottle
· Chewed gum
· Teeth
· Ear swab
· Used tissue

Genelex is a market leader in this testing and our success rate is very high. In delicate situations, DNA detective work can discretely resolve relationship questions and provide peace of mind.
