We adhere to the UK Department of Health's 'Voluntary Code of Practice and Guidance on Genetic Paternity Testing Services'. Fully qualified scientific staff in our purpose-built laboratories in the UK test all samples sent for analysis. We are registered paternity testers with the Department for Constitutional Affairs (formerly the Lord Chancellor's Department) and the results of our paternity testing are admissible as evidence in UK Courts of Law.'
