Orchid Cellmark’s DNA testing services have been used and trusted by the legal community to resolve a variety of legal issues since 1990. We provide services to lawyers of the following practice specialties:
We respect and value your time. To that end, we offer lawyers two options for ordering. Our application forms can be downloaded, completed and faxed or mailed. Alternatively, if you prefer, you may call our toll free number to order over the phone. Please note that we are working on a third option which involves the electronic submission of your application.
Once your order is received, we will make all arrangements for the secure collection and shipment of cheek swabs or other appropriate samples, as needed, for your case. Unless otherwise requested, you do not need to be involved in this process.
We offer our assurance that all tests requested by a lawyer will be conducted using our strict Chain of Custody procedures which will document the identity of the tested parties and will ensure the secure transportation of all samples to our testing laboratory as well as throughout the testing process. Our laboratory is accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks as well as ISO17025 accrediting agencies. Orchid Cellmark laboratories also participate in numerous proficiency tests to ensure the continual high performance of our laboratory in the DNA testing field.
All results will be signed by one of our many Ph.D.’s. Typical DNA paternity testing results take 5 business days.
Finally, Orchid Cellmark will provide assistance in the interpretation of results or in the confirmation of the identity of tested parties or to answer any other technical question you might have. We also provide expert testimony if needed although our DNA testing results have not been challenged in the legal arena in many years.
