DNA Safeguarding

DNA Safeguarding gives you access to the very best form of identification. Your DNA. IDENTIGENE will extract your DNA from a cheek sample collected from the comfort of your own home and provide you with a DNA profile suitable for storage in a safe or safety deposit box for future identification purposes. IDENTIGENE will also keep a copy of your profile on record.

DNA Profile, Individual $129
Includes 1 person for an individual DNA Profile. Results in 3-5 business days from the time that samples arrive at the laboratory.

DNA Safeguarding for Identification

IDENTIGENE's DNA safeguarding is fast and efficient. You can expect to receive your DNA profile within 3-5 business days.

Unlike home storage solutions you are assured that there was adequate DNA material collected. Preservation of DNA material at home can be problematic and changes in temperature and humidity can over time render a sample unusable. Your IDENTIGENE DNA profile can be stored anywhere, in multiple copies if desired.

How the DNA Safeguarding process works:

DNA Safeguarding for Children

While no one can fully guarantee your child's safety, DNA Safeguarding provides the best form of identification should a tragedy occur.

DNA Safeguarding is a superior identification method for children since DNA, unlike fingerprints, dental records, or photos, does not change over the course of your life.

Several companies are now offering home-collection kits which provide for the parent to store their child's DNA sample at home. This may sound easy and inexpensive, how ever there is a chance that samples stored at home may be un-usable in the future. Until the DNA samples are analyzed you do not know if enough DNA material was collected. Changes in temperature and humidity can over time render a sample unusable, and if the sample is not needed for a number of years it must also be stored somewhere safe from disaster, and also easily accessible. All these things make storage of DNA samples at home problematic.

With IDENTIGENE DNA analysis is done now, assuring you that enough DNA material was collected and providing you with a DNA profile report can easily and safely be filed or stored in a safe or safety deposit box.
