Once we receive DNA samples back into our laboratory we will process the test and analyse the DNA to establish a relationship or not. Our findings will be written into a report which is for court related cases, paternity disputes, immigration, etc.
Once we have received samples back into our laboratory we will take 3 - 5 working days to process the test and produce the report. 48 hour and 24 hour tests are available by special request and subject to availability.
Please note: that results will not be given out over the telephone. Reports will only be sent to the correspondence information that is provided to us at the time of sampling or if confirmed to us in writing by an individual with appropriate authority to do so to an alternative address. All sample donors and the legal guardians of sample donors are entitled to a report.
