Cansford Laboratories are pleased to now offer a DNA testing and a sample collection service.
 
Your client may require a DNA test for:
  • Child custody and/or protection
  • Child Support Agency (CSA)
  • Children in Care
  • Family disputes
  • Immigration
  • Passport/Visa applications
  • Inheritance
  • Adoption
  • Reunited families
  • Birth Certificate Amendments

The testing process is carried out by a laboratory specialising in DNA testing and accredited to ISO 17025 standards and by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

It's an official body that may carry out parentage tests directed by civil courts in England and Wales under section 20 of the Family Law Reform Act 1969.

The analysis turnaround time is 3-5 days following sample receipt at the laboratory.  In addition to this fast turnaround time, the costs for analysis are below the legal aid pricing structure.


For further information regarding our services please contact us.  We offer Paternity, Maternity and Sibling testing for Legal purposes. Get in touch here.
