DNA Connections is proud to have Genetic Technologies, Inc. as our lab partner. Located in Glencoe, Missouri, near St. Louis, Genetic Technologies stays on the cutting edge of DNA technology.
Genetic Technology incorporates forensic protocols and unrelenting quality control measures. Every case is analyzed using a minimum of the FBI’s core loci, thereby offering unique human identification results – one in billions.
The lab submits to a minimum of seven proficiency tests each year and undergoes rigorous inspections by outside agencies to maintain its Certification of Accreditation by the American Association of Blood Banks, the primary accrediting agency of DNA labs.
Genetic Technologies, Inc. is not the typical, impersonal and technologically antiquated commercial genetic testing factory, it is rather, an innovative and technologically superior, accredited human identification laboratory. The same exacting standards, equipment, protocols followed in forensic analyses are used in each case received by Genetic Technologies, Inc.
Dr. Robert Allen, Chair of the American Association of Blood Banks heads the lab’s human identification operation. Dr. Allen is one of several experts involved in the peer review process on each case submitted to the lab before its findings are issued.
