Casey Randall explores what makes AlphaBiolabs the industry leader for court-admissible DNA testing
DNA testing plays a critical role in the legal sector, offering irrefutable proof of biological relationships in support of child welfare cases, custody disputes, inheritance disputes, immigration applications, and more. At AlphaBiolabs, we understand the weight of this responsibility. Since 2004, we have been providing the most advanced DNA test offering in the UK, including sample collection, analysis, and reporting for counsel, family law solicitors, social workers, and local authorities.
For over 20 years we have remained at the forefront of innovation, investing in state-of-the-art technology for our UK-based, UKAS 17025-accredited laboratory, allowing us to deliver fast, accurate, reliable DNA results quicker than anyone else.
We set the standard for DNA testing on a global scale as the first testing laboratory to offer next-day DNA results as standard; an achievement that saw us awarded The King’s Award for Enterprise.
For urgent matters, same-day DNA results are also available, offering unparalleled flexibility in meeting court deadlines. AlphaBiolabs is also the first and only UK laboratory to analyse up to 153 DNA markers at no extra cost, to achieve a conclusive result. DNA markers (loci) – specific regions of DNA that vary between individuals – are used to compare genetic material and confirm biological relationships. Analysing more DNA markers enhances the conclusivity of these comparisons, for an even more robust result.
This is particularly beneficial when performing complex relationship DNA tests such as sibling, aunt/uncle (avuncular), grandparent, and extended family tests (including cousins).
This is because the chance of obtaining a conclusive result for complex relationships will always be lower than the more straightforward paternity or maternity tests, as the DNA has not been directly inherited.
By analysing up to 153 DNA markers, AlphaBiolabs offers an unprecedented level of precision for court-admissible DNA tests.
More reasons to trust us for court-approved DNA testing, include:
We also employ highly-skilled in-house geneticists with decades of collective experience, and UK-based Reporting Scientists who are Bond Solon trained; many of whom have attended Family Court and Crown Court as expert witnesses.
With over 20 years’ experience, you can be confident that AlphaBiolabs offers the very best DNA testing solution available to the UK legal sector.
Our New Enquiry team is always on hand to discuss your DNA testing requirements and will happily provide advice on the most suitable DNA test for your particular case.
Once your case is registered, you will be assigned a dedicated Case Manager to fully manage your instruction, from sample collection through to delivery of your Expert Report in a clear, concise, user-friendly format.
Plus, our Price Promise means we will beat any like-for-like quote by a further 10%.
