Can the results for specimens collected in my home be used for legal proceedings?

Probably not. The tests are preformed in a nationally respected laboratory and the results are both accurate and reliable. The lack of a proper chain of custody; however, makes it unlikely the results you obtain would be admissible in a court of law. Please refer to the Legal Issues section for a detailed explanation of the chain of custody and legal admissibility.

Please refer to the section Legal Issues elsewhere in the booklet of a detailed explanation of the chain of custody and legal admissibility.
