DNA testing allows an accurate means of establishing paternity or maternity and can be purchased for your own peace of mind or as a court admissable confirmation of paternal or maternal relationship. It does this by comparing the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) taken from the individuals concerned.
Dacrelands is part of a network of DNA Clinics set up around the UK in association with Sequence Biotechnologies Ltd and offers a local testing service with either face-to-face or telephone based results notification and support. The DNA sample is taken using cheek cells obtained by a quick and painless mouth swab which is then sent in a sealed package to Sequence Biotechnologies' Laboratory; results are normally available within ten days of the sample being taken.
As Dacrelands is a designated DNA Clinic and not merely a mailing service, we offer face to face client consultations with an individual Case Manager, unlike some DNA testing services that only provide e-mail or telephone notification of the results. However, clients are able choose exactly how they wish to receive their results and the level of support they wish to have.
The entire process is confidential, although, when making the choice regarding how results are notified, you should be aware that the Clinic can only control that confidentiality up to the point a letter or e-mail is sent, whereas a face to face consultation retains the maximum degree of confidentiality.
Client Support
While other DNA test services offer customer support throughout the DNA test procedure, you will find that this usually only involves telephone and email help-lines. Because Dacrelands is a DNA Clinic & not just a mailing service, we can offer face to face client consultations with individual Case Managers.
