Creating a safer world with you.
We are your partners in solving crime.
Culture is everything. Our people are the difference.
DNA Labs International is a private, women- and family-owned forensic testing DNA laboratory accredited to ANAB ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and FBI QAS standards, with teams in South Florida and Utah. This work is more than a job. It’s who we are.
We show up for our partners with open communication, meticulous casework, and the innovative tools that move cases forward—delivering exceptional service and results every time.
We are celebrating over 20 years supporting the forensic community to help solve crime faster
Founded in 2004, DNA Labs International is run by a mother-daughter team. We create and utilize the most cutting-edge technology to achieve high quality results while providing education and friendly service to law enforcement agencies, forensic laboratories, medical examiners, attorneys, and the victims they represent.
“I started the lab 20 years ago because I have daughters, and if they were ever victims of crime, DNA results would not be delayed. That commitment—to deliver results, friendly service, and innovative technology for our partners and the victims they serve—has been our mission since our very first case.”
Kirsten Charlson, DNA Labs International, CEO & Founder
