DNA Testing Services We Offer

We offer one of the most complete DNA service menus available for Roanoke residents. Whether your situation is personal, legal, or somewhere in between, there’s a test type to match it.

Legal & Court-Admissible Tests

These tests follow strict chain-of-custody procedures so results can be submitted to a court, child support enforcement office, or government agency. Identity is verified at the time of collection, and paperwork is completed on-site.

Paternity: The most commonly requested DNA test, establishing the biological relationship between a father and child
Court-Admissible: Collected under chain-of-custody protocols for use in legal proceedings
Immigration: Verifies biological relationships for USCIS petitions when documents are insufficient
Maternity: Confirms the biological relationship between a mother and child
Adoption Testing: Helps individuals connect with biological family members
Genetic Reconstruction: Used when one or more parties are unavailable for direct testing
DNA Profiling: Establishes identity for legal proceedings, parentage, or siblinghood determination
Forensic Services: Supports legal proceedings requiring biological evidence analysis

Non-Legal & Personal Tests

Non-legal tests, sometimes called peace-of-mind tests, deliver accurate results for personal knowledge without requiring chain-of-custody documentation.

Twin Zygosity: Determines whether twins are identical or fraternal
Infidelity: Analyzes biological samples to answer relationship questions
Genealogy/Ancestry: Traces lineage and family origins
Lifestyle: Uses HomeDNA™ kits for health and wellness insights, with results viewable through a secure online account

Who We Serve in the Roanoke Area

We serve individuals, families, legal professionals, schools, and government agencies throughout the Roanoke Valley. The right test depends on what you plan to do with the results.

If you need personal clarity, a non-legal test provides accurate answers without chain-of-custody requirements. If your situation involves a court order, custody dispute, child support enforcement, or an immigration petition, a Legal DNA test collected under proper chain-of-custody protocols may be the right path. Virginia courts may order DNA testing in disputed paternity cases, and establishing legal paternity can support access to inheritance rights, health insurance eligibility, and Social Security benefits for the child.

Not sure which test fits your situation? Our staff can help you identify the right option before you come in.

What to Expect During Your DNA Collection

Most DNA tests use a simple buccal swab, a brief, painless wipe of the inside of your cheek. The collection takes only a few minutes and requires no needles. For Legal tests, you’ll need a government-issued ID, and chain-of-custody paperwork is completed at the collection site. If the test involves a minor, the custodial parent or legal guardian must be present.

Results are delivered confidentially. Legal test results come in a format suitable for court or agency submission.

Legal vs. Non-Legal DNA Tests: Which Do You Need?

The answer comes down to how you plan to use the results. A Legal DNA test follows chain-of-custody procedures and includes third-party identity verification, making it generally acceptable to courts, government agencies, and child support enforcement offices. AABB accreditation is the recognized standard for court-admissible DNA testing laboratories.

A non-legal test produces equally accurate results, but is collected without those documentation requirements. At-home DNA kits, while accurate, are generally not accepted in court because they lack third-party chain-of-custody documentation. If there’s any chance you’ll need your results for a legal purpose, a Legal test may be the safer choice.
