Return to the top . Scope of Testing ReliaGene performs exclusively DNA analysis for all of its paternity, forensic, and molecular diagnostic testing. The text below briefly describes the testing procedures within ReliaGene s Paternity Testing Laboratory. Upon delivery of the specimens by the overnight courier at ReliaGene s laboratory the accessioning department inspects this integrity seal to confirm that the integrity of both the documents and the specimen has not been compromised. After satisfactory review and receipt of test samples, the clients samples are entered into ReliaGene s computerized tracking system.
Every specimen has a unique sample number and preprinted label that identifies it during testing.
This measure prevents any confusion in sample numbers throughout the testing process. After the data analysis is complete and numerical values are determined for the client s DNA markers, a paternity test result report is generated by the computer. After careful review of this file, a laboratory director signs the paternity test report and affidavit. An in-house copy of the test results is retained in ReliaGene s case files as permanent records.
