What Is DNA?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is what makes up the genetic material in living creatures. The DNA of every human is unique, with the exception of identical twins. Therefore, it can be used in identification of individuals. DNA is very hearty; consequently, if collected properly, it can remain intact for many years.
How Can We Help?
For both civil and criminal cases, we will review test results and advise
on accuracy and completeness of procedures used and data obtained. We
will further advise you if further testing or re-testing should be performed,
and/or if there are issues which should be addressed in court, we will
provide you with information to address these issues. We can examine items
such as clothing, fabrics or practically any surface for the prescence
of biological fluids such as blood, seminal fluid etc.
We can also perform the actual DNA analysis.

butts
