Using forensic samples
Through our state-of-the-art DNA forensic laboratory, EasyDNA provides an alternative way to complete your testing requirements. Through our extensive forensic DNA expertise, EasyDNA is able to analyse a wide range of discreet samples ranging from hair DNA testing, cigarette butts, toothbrushes to more difficult samples such as bone. Once the DNA extraction is completed and sufficient DNA is obtained from the sample, the DNA testing process is the same as when the normal oral swabs are used.
Forensic DNA testing can therefore be utilized for our complete range of New Zealand DNA tests, including the home DNA paternity test, but is not normally applicable for legal DNA testing requirements unless the chain of custody sample collection is followed and the source of the DNA is officially confirmed.
Please review below our comprehensive list of samples to obtain more information about the samples you want to submit, the additional costs involved and the DNA extraction success rate per sample. Also review the conditions for submitting a discrete DNA sample.

Note: We can only guarantee standard result turnaround time when testing takes place solely using oral swab samples. Using a discreet sample for your test may lead to an increase in turnaround time.
