What Is Verified And Preserved DNA?
Verification: First, our laboratory extracts DNA from the cells in the sample submitted (such as a cheek swab). After extraction of the DNA from the cells, the laboratory tests the DNA to determine that the extracted DNA is viable. The determination that the extract contains viable DNA means that there is sufficient quantity and quality of DNA for use in most of the genetic tests currently available and for use in new tests as they become available in the future.
