Testing Process Works

Understanding the process ahead of time can make arranging forensic testing much easier. We aim to keep each step simple while protecting the quality and traceability of the sample. From scheduling to receiving results, our team is available to answer questions and help you plan around key deadlines.

Scheduling Your Appointment

Scheduling usually begins when an individual, attorney, employer, or agency contacts our Alexandria team to request an appointment. We confirm basic information, discuss what type of DNA collection is needed, and help you choose a time that fits your schedule. When you arrive, you check in at the front desk and present identification and any paperwork provided by an attorney or organization, if applicable.

Collection & Sample Handling

A certified collector then verifies identity, explains the collection process in everyday terms, and completes the appropriate forms. For most forensic-related situations, sample collection is quick and noninvasive. The collector carefully labels the sample and associated documentation, then follows our internal procedures for secure handling and storage before the sample is sent to the laboratory.

Reporting Your Results

Once analysis is complete, results are prepared in a clear, organized format. The way your results are delivered can depend on who requested the test and how they plan to use the information. In many cases, results are shared with the requesting party along with the related documentation, so they can be reviewed as part of a broader legal or administrative process.

Safeguards For Accuracy, Documentation, and Confidentiality

Because forensic DNA testing is often used in serious matters, we build safeguards into every stage of the process. These safeguards are designed to support accuracy, reliable documentation, and protection of private information. Our goal is to handle each case with the same care, whether it involves a single person or a large organization.

Protecting Accuracy

Accuracy begins with controlled collection and careful handling. Our collectors follow set procedures for preparing the collection area, checking identification, and labeling each sample. We work to minimize the chance of contamination and to maintain clear separation between cases. In the laboratory, testing is completed using proven techniques to help produce dependable results.

Detailed Documentation

Documentation is another critical safeguard. At each step, information about the person being tested, the collector, the time of collection, and the handling of the sample is recorded on standardized forms. This detailed record can be important if questions arise later about how the sample was handled.

Respecting Confidentiality

Confidentiality is central to everything we do. We limit access to records to authorized personnel and share results only with the individuals or organizations designated at the time of testing or as required by law. For clients in Alexandria and nearby communities, this combination of practical safeguards helps support trust in the process and in the results.

Forensic Testing Options For Individuals & Organizations

Different clients use forensic DNA testing for different reasons, and we aim to support each group while following the same core standards. Whether you are arranging testing for yourself, on behalf of a client, or as part of an organizational policy, we work to make the experience clear and manageable.

Support For Individuals

Individuals may come to us when a legal matter requires DNA evidence or when an attorney has requested testing as part of a case. In these situations, we explain what you can expect at the appointment, answer process questions, and follow the instructions provided by the authorized party when appropriate. Our focus is to keep the visit efficient, respectful, and as low-stress as possible.

Support For Attorneys & Legal Teams

Attorneys and legal teams may use our services when they need reliable collection and documentation for use in court or administrative hearings. We strive to follow the collection and paperwork requirements they outline and to deliver organized reports that can be added to their case files. Our role is to provide structured testing support, so legal professionals can focus on their core work.
