When choosing a labratory for your paternity or relationship test, the cheapest price may not be the best option.
If you want to make sure, you are getting reliable results, there are important quality aspects which should be considered when selecting your testing lab. Some companies subcontract other DNA labs to conduct the testing for them. This always includes the risks of mislayed samples and unregulated testing methods. So, our advise is to always make sure you know the name and location of the lab which actually conducts the test.
Also check the laboratory has the approppriate accreditations and certifications. This proves that the lab meets the official quality standards regarding operations, management, procedures, instruments, plant and qualifications of laboratory staff.
