What is laboratory accreditation?

Accreditation is one of the main things to look out for when selecting your DNA testing company. Our partner laboratories are accredited by an external body meaning that they supply highly accurate results that are done under the strictest testing procedures. With so many companies offering DNA testing services we try to stand out on what factors which we believe are truly important: your satisfaction and the fidelity of your results.

Good value for money and customer care

Given the nature of DNA testing and the fact that it can be a life changing choice, you need to be fully informed about what to expect and what you will need to do. We try our best to guide you through the whole process so that you can feel comfortable doing the test. Take advantage of our well-trained customer care team and the many years of DNA testing experience we have.
homeDNAdirect operates world-wide and handles thousands of samples per year. However, we try to make sure that whatever service you opt for meets your expectations and our promises. Fortunately, we are able to offer competitive prices thanks to the very fact that we process so many DNA tests.

Your DNA test results

Our laboratories are bound by their ISO 17025 accreditation to test 16 genetic loci on you DNA samples. This number of loci is what ensures that your results will spell quality and reliability.  In a paternity test, if you send in the mother’s DNA samples along with the alleged father and child, you can expect your results to show an inclusion of 99.999+%. If the alleged father is not the child’s biological father we will show you a 0% inclusion. Such results are as conclusive as one can get.

DNA testing is costly and time consuming; companies might test fewer loci for less cost and by extension less reliability. We will not forfeit our esteemed client’s peace of mind and place pricing over quality.
Your DNA results will show every

single locus tested for everyone involved in the testing process. You can thus, follow the way we have arrived to the conclusion to your DNA test. Your results will be sent to you by email. However, should you specify with us, we can send them to you via standard post to which ever address you provide. We will send your results in an unmarked envelope for privacy reasons.
