Can you detect blood and semen from a stain on a piece of garment?Yes, we can. We perform serology tests to determine if the stain is blood, semen, or saliva.

Do you provide second-opinion DNA testing for evidence and reference samples processed by a government crime lab?Yes, we routinely perform second-opinion DNA testing for legal professionals such as defense attorneys.

How can I get the evidence released from a law enforcement agency or government crime lab to conduct a second-opinion DNA test in your lab?It is the responsibility of our clients to make the arrangement with the law enforcement agency, judge and/or prosecutor to release the evidence. We will provide a shipping address for the crime lab or the law enforcement agency so they can send evidence directly to our laboratory following strict chain of custody procedures.

Do you provide DNA case review, consultation, and DNA expert witness testimony/services?Yes, we do. Our renowned forensic DNA scientists are frequently consulted by local and national law enforcement agencies, and legal professionals. We provide DNA expert services for cases tested by our laboratory or other forensic DNA testing laboratories.
