Laboratory partner model
Who analyses your DNA sample
KINORA GENETICS is a DNA testing and sample collection service operated by Canadian International Business Development Corp.. We coordinate your case, collect and document samples professionally, and manage the process end to end.
We do not own or operate a laboratory, and no analysis is performed at our Richmond centre. Laboratory analysis is carried out by qualified, accredited laboratory partners, who also issue the report.
Division of responsibility
What KINORA does, and what the laboratory does
Both roles matter, and they are deliberately separate.
KINORA GENETICS coordinates
- Coordinates your DNA test from first enquiry to report release
- Coordinates professional, identity-verified sample collection
- Manages the customer experience and case communication
- Coordinates laboratory processing with our laboratory partner
- Supports documentation, consent forms, chain-of-custody records and logistics
The accredited laboratory partner analyses
- Performs the laboratory analysis of the samples
- Issues the laboratory report and any accompanying statements
- Maintains its applicable laboratory accreditation and quality systems
The genetic result and its interpretation are the laboratory partner's professional output. KINORA GENETICS does not alter, re-interpret or issue laboratory results.
Why a partner model
Why analysis is performed by accredited partners
Specialised analysis stays with specialists
Human identity testing requires validated instrumentation, quality systems and analyst competency programmes. Working with dedicated accredited laboratories keeps analysis with organisations whose sole focus is that work.
Independence between collection and analysis
The organisation collecting and verifying identity is not the organisation producing the genetic result. That separation is a strength in legal and immigration matters, where independence matters.
Capacity and continuity
A partner model lets us match each case to a laboratory capable of the specific testing required, rather than forcing every case through a single facility.
Transparency
Laboratory identity and accreditation
Laboratory analysis for KINORA GENETICS cases is performed by qualified, accredited laboratory partners. Under our current agreements we do not publish partner laboratory names, accreditation bodies or accreditation numbers on this website.
If you need written confirmation of the analysing laboratory and its accreditation before you book — for example for a legal, court or immigration file — contact us and we will provide that confirmation in writing for your specific case, subject to the terms of our partner agreements.
- We do not publish accreditation numbers or certificates belonging to another organisation on this website.
- We do not claim accreditation in our own name. Accreditation belongs to the analysing laboratory.
- Acceptance of a report by any court, authority or organisation is decided by that body, not by us.
Chain of custody to the laboratory
For legal and immigration cases, identity is verified against government-issued photo ID, collection is witnessed, samples are sealed in tamper-evident packaging and every handoff to the laboratory partner is recorded and tracked.
