DNA Reference Lab, Inc. is a private corporation established in November
of 1997 to pioneer the build-up of a complete DNA testing facility.
The Laboratory is designed to utilize cutting-edge technologies in
order to provide our medical, forensic, and general community with
the latest and the most cost-effective methods in DNA testing. We
offer services in the following disciplines:
-
Complete
testing to establish legal custody of a child; resolve
issues of child support, legal custody, adoption, and
immigration; and to reconstruct family genetic relationships.
-
Forensic
testing to obtain or confirm scientific evidence
that is usable in our court system.
-
Sequence
analysis of mitochondrial DNA structure and
Y-chromosome analysis for investigative work
in criminal cases and clinical disorders.
-
Testing
for infectious agents where DNA testing has
a proven superiority in terms of speed, specificity
and reliability over traditional methods.
Our testing procedures are focused on direct
measurements of viral loads and viral genotyping.
-
High
resolution HLA testing to match donors
with potential recipients of solid organs
and bone marrow transplants.
-
SNP/STR/micro
array/sequence analysis to screen and
test for genes involved in cancer and
genetic diseases.
Stream-lined
Departments in the Laboratory
1. Paternity Testing
2. Forensic Testing

DNA Reference Lab Guarantees the Following:
• Never to falsely
exclude a real father. Most labs accept 99% probability for establishing
paternity. This means 1 in 100 random unrelated males
could be the father. We require at minimum 99.96% probability to establish
paternity. This will dramatically reduce our error in establishing paternity
• We require a combined paternity Index of 25x greater than AABB recommended
number of 100.
• The probability of excluding a non-biological father is always 100%
• 100% assured confidentiality
• A chain of custody process that exceeds court requirements
• The highest level of scientific integrity and technical capability.
• The best and honest customer service possible within the industry.
