Effective DNA recovery from challenging tissue samples
Tissue samples such as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues, cremated remains, fingernails, and toenails present unique challenges due to degradation and chemical treatment. Despite these difficulties, they can provide critical DNA in both criminal and identification cases.
DNA Labs International has developed proprietary extraction techniques capable of recovering high-quality DNA from even the most degraded tissue. Combined with the specialized DNA amplification and analysis tools in our DNA Toolbox™, we’ve achieved success with samples exhibiting degradation indices over 1,000. Our experienced analysts also specialize in identifying fetal tissue in products of conception as early as six weeks of gestation.
With expert methods and precise attention to detail, we deliver results where other labs may not support both forensic and medicolegal investigations.
