Introduction

NIVHA in association with DNA Worldwide and Eurofins Medigenomix offer a complete range of DNA Tests. Our specialist laboratory goes the extra step to ensure results provide conclusive proof of relationship by testing up to 44 DNA Markers compared to the industry standard of 16 DNA Markers.

An HPC registered practitioner collects the mouth swab DNA samples from each participant. After testing is completed NIVHA issue a full legal report, suitable for court use.
