Only 48% of paternity testing labs have AABB accreditation. If you obtain paternity testing from a lab without this accreditation; the results may not be reliable or acceptable for legal purposes. An unaccredited lab could literally be flipping a coin to determine paternity; no outside agency has confirmed that they are adhering to quality standards.
The American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) is the accrediting agency for relationship testing. AABB accreditation requires an intensive review and inspection of laboratory policies and procedures and establishes that the level of technical and administrative performances within the laboratory meets or exceeds the standards set by the AABB.
Additionally, the AABB has strict guidelines about confidentiality so you can be assured that your personal information will be secure.
Genelex has been AABB accredited for DNA parentage testing since 1992. All accredited labs are listed on the AABB web site.
If a lab is not listed, they are not accredited. Buyer Beware.
A paternity test lasts a lifetime and can profoundly affect your life. That is why it is critical to work with a lab that you know you can rely on both now and in the future.
Paternity reports are vital records akin to birth certificates. Genelex will still be around to provide additional copies if you need them, it is debatable whether an internet startup will be.
With over 20 years of experience, Genelex DNA testing has a history of holding up under intense legal scrutiny including Supreme Court review.
