Forensic Services in Miami
Documented DNA Collection for Legal & Investigative Needs
We provide forensic DNA testing when DNA profiling or analysis of a piece of evidence may support legal proceedings. Our role begins with careful collection and documentation, followed by testing and processing through partner facilities that are accredited by AABB.
Unlike a personal relationship test, forensic testing may require the identity of each participant, sample handling, and the requested analysis to be documented for review. We approach collection with those requirements in mind while maintaining complete confidentiality.
Call (786) 891-6862 to discuss your forensic testing requirements and arrange a documented DNA sample collection.
What Forensic DNA Testing Covers
Forensic DNA testing may involve DNA profiling of an individual or a piece of evidence. Depending on the matter, laboratory analysis may compare DNA profiles or help identify or exclude someone connected to evidence. The attorney, court, investigator, agency, or other requesting authority determines the required analysis and documentation.
We collect DNA samples for forensic testing. Facilities that we partner with are accredited by AABB, and those facilities conduct the testing and processing. This division allows the collection and laboratory analysis to be documented according to their distinct roles.
Controls That Protect the Integrity of Forensic Samples
Reliable DNA analysis depends on more than laboratory technology. Collection and handling practices help connect each sample to the correct person or matter.
Our forensic collection process includes:
- Certified collectors: Trained personnel conduct the collection and follow the required procedures.
- Secure chain of custody: Documentation records how a sample is identified, handled, transferred, and received.
- Thorough DNA sample documentation: Collection details and identifying information are recorded for the requested process.
- Strict sample isolation: Controlled handling keeps samples separate during collection and transfer.
- Complete confidentiality: Sensitive information and collection details are handled discreetly.
When buccal (cheek) swabs are appropriate, they provide a fast, non-invasive collection method. Collections take place in our clean Miami facility, with attention to accuracy, comfort, and respectful service.

What to Expect During a Forensic DNA Collection
Before collecting a sample, we discuss the test’s purpose and the requesting party’s requirements. Confirm the appropriate test, required participants, identification, paperwork, and handling instructions with your attorney, court, investigator, or agency before the appointment.
The documented process generally involves:
- Requirement review: We review the collection request and available instructions.
- Identity and paperwork review: The collector verifies the applicable information and documentation.
- Controlled collection: A certified collector completes the fast sample collection process.
- Sample documentation: The collector records the information required for proper identification and handling.
- Secure transfer: The sample proceeds to a partner testing facility under the applicable chain-of-custody process.
- Laboratory analysis: The partner facility performs the requested DNA testing and processing.
Turnaround time depends on the requested analysis, the condition and nature of the submitted material, and laboratory requirements. We emphasize quick, accurate results, but we don’t promise a deadline that may not fit the specific matter.
