DNA Forensic Test

Examples of forensic samples which are commonly submitted for testing include:

• Dried blood stains (e.g. dried blood on bandages, on tissue, cotton, or paper)
• Dried underwear stains (e.g. stains on underwear, pads, tampons, diapers)
• Dried semen stains (e.g. stains on tissue, underwear)
• Dried saliva stains (e.g. cigarette butts, stamps, stains on clothing or napkins)
• Hair (hair works very well if it is plucked directly from the head. Hair which has fallen off natural on hair brushes or pillows may work but is not as good as freshly plucked hair. Cut hair will not work. Hair must have root)
• Razors shavings from electric razor (fingernail clippings will not work)
• Bone, teeth, tissue (from deceased individual)

Any sample which contains biological material has a chance of working. Before proceeding, call Genetrack to discuss the type of sample that you wish to test. Please note that if the sample submitted has no DNA or only contains degraded DNA, a profile may not be obtained.
