DNA Banking

With DNA Banking, you are guaranteed that your or your, your child's, or other family member's DNA sample is properly stored under secure, climate-controlled conditions for a period of five years. While keeping a DNA sample at home may seem like a convenient alternative, humidity, changes in temperature, and improper storage and handling can render the sample useless when you need it most.  Our staff is well trained in the proper storage and security of DNA samples, ensuring the sample will be useable should an emergency occur.  
A common misconception is that you can use a cotton swab to collect a DNA sample or preserve a lock of hair by storing the sample in your personal refrigerator, freezer, or closet.  While home collection and storage may sound like a quick and inexpensive measure for the common individual, if you do not properly collect and store the sample, it may not be useful farther down the road.  Temperature, humidity, and improper storage conditions can negatively affect the DNA samples, possibly rendering them useless when needed most.  With home storage, you also face the risk of loss and contamination.  Most of all, if an emergency situation should arise, you would be faced with the need to locate the DNA sample.  WIth DNA Banking, you simply contact us to access your DNA sample.
