We understand that you may not want to confront
the other person or the other person may be deceased. In
order to help you, we have the ability to extract DNA from
many alternative sources of DNA. However, it will cost
a little more (see below) to extract the DNA from any of
these samples. We have compiled a list of alternative
DNA samples that we have used successfully in the past.
DNA is very pervasive and is left behind on many things.
This table will aid you in acquiring DNA that can be used
for testing. The
best way to store any of these samples is in a paper envelope. DO NOT
use plastic bags. DNA stored dry, in a paper envelope, will
be stable for months. DNA stored moist in a plastic bag will not last
very long. If you have
any questions about any or these samples in the table or a sample that
may not be listed, please feel free call us toll free at 866-344-8378 or via email at scientist@paternityexperts.com.
Extracting DNA
from a forensic sample can sometimes be time
consuming. It takes on average about 2- 5 business days to generate a DNA profile depending on the complexity of the sample. .

DNA Sources |
Location |
Surcharge |
|
Blood |
Band Aids, feminine
products, diabetic glucose sticks |
$60.00 |
|
Semen/Sperm |
|
Condoms,
undergarments (not female underwear), clothing, wash cloths, etc.
1. Liquid semen: absorb suspected semen sample onto
a clean cotton cloth or swab. Air-dry the swab for 10-15 minutes.
2.
Dried semen stains: adsorb semen stain onto a
clean swab moistened with distilled
water. Air-dry the swab for 10-15 minutes.
3. or you can just send in the semen stained sample.
Please note: semen samples can often be contaminated with female DNA (i.e. condoms) please use caution when collecting the semen to prevent any female DNA carry-over. Please call the office if you have any questions. |

|
Used
Kleenex |
Mucus
is a tremendous source of DNA. |
