As one of the largest and most trusted DNA testing laboratories on the continent, we take pride in our commitment to innovation, accuracy, and world-class quality standards.
A Legacy of Excellence
Our roots trace back to our beginnings as a legal and forensic DNA testing facility. Over the years, we have earned a reputation for performing advanced DNA analysis for government agencies, hospitals, legal professionals, and law enforcement agencies. We were pioneers in implementing buccal swab DNA collection for routine casework nearly two decades ago, setting the standard for innovative testing methods. This legacy of excellence has driven our mission to remain at the forefront of DNA testing technology through continuous research and development.
Comprehensive DNA Testing Solutions
Our state-of-the-art laboratory network encompasses over 1,000 chain-of-custody specimen collection facilities worldwide, ensuring reliable and secure handling of samples. We offer an extensive menu of DNA tests, including identity verification, paternity and relationship testing, ancestry tracing, and clinical molecular diagnostics for genetic disorders. Our expertise in DNA testing technology and molecular research allows us to continuously develop and implement the latest advancements in the field.
Trusted by Professionals and Consumers
For over two decades, Genetrace has been the trusted choice for medical diagnostic and identity testing services among hospitals, legal professionals, and government organizations throughout North America and internationally. Our test results are admissible in courts across the United States and Canada, thanks to our stringent chain-of-custody protocols and fully accredited testing facilities.
In recent years, we have expanded our offerings to include direct-to-consumer DNA testing. This allows individuals to conveniently access DNA testing for medical, identity, and forensic applications, furthering our mission of making DNA testing accessible to all.
Advanced DNA Solutions
Our state-of-the-art DNA testing laboratory provides the latest and most advanced DNA testing technology for clients from around the world in specialty areas including:
