Guidelines for sending Discreet DNA Samples

1. We recommend that if you intend to send a discreet DNA sample you contact in advance our technical team to discuss your case.
    
2. The prices shown in the Forensic DNA testing section are in addition to the normal cost of the DNA test you have selected.
    
3. Once DNA is successfully extracted this can then be used for any of our DNA tests. The type of sample submitted will not effect the accuracy of the results as once the DNA is extracted it is the same regardless of the sample it is obtained from.
    
4. DNA testing using discreet DNA samples can be used only for curiosity purposes since it is not normally possible to verify the source of the sample. Only in cases where it is possible to verify the source of the sample and a strict chain of custody procedure has been observed then the sample may be admissible in a court of law.
5. easyDNA cannot unconditionally guarantee successful analysis of these samples. Of course, based on the experience of the ISO17025 accredited laboratory, every attempt will be made to provide you with the results you require. Payment is required even where it was not possible to obtain a DNA Profile.
    
6. Discounts for sending more than one discreet sample may apply and are normally reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
    
7. Forensic Testing results are normally available in around 5-7 working days but is case dependent.
    
8. The person submitting a discreet sample assumes full responsibility for sending these samples and purchasing the DNA test.

If you are considering sending a discreet DNA sample, we recommend that you contact us in advance to confirm the costs and any other technical issues relating to your case.
