Why Laboratory Accreditation Matters

For DNA testing, laboratory quality and documented testing procedures matter because results may be used for personal, legal, immigration or other formal purposes.

Accreditation provides independent oversight of defined laboratory activities and quality systems.

What KINORA Does

KINORA coordinates:

  • Test selection
  • Case intake
  • Customer communication
  • Professional DNA sample collection
  • Identity verification where required
  • Collection appointment coordination
  • Sample handling and transfer
  • Case tracking
  • Communication with the laboratory
  • Results delivery through the applicable process

Laboratory analysis and reporting are performed by the applicable qualified laboratory partner.

Professional Collection + Qualified Laboratory

Customers who require professional collection can have their collection arranged through KINORA’s professional collection network. Where applicable, collected samples are documented, sealed and transferred according to the requirements of the selected testing process.

DNA sample collection options

Legal & Immigration DNA Testing

For legal and immigration-related DNA testing, laboratory and collection requirements may differ depending on the requesting authority and the specific case.

KINORA coordinates the applicable testing and collection process with qualified laboratory partners.

In the United States immigration context, U.S. authorities refer to AABB-accredited relationship testing laboratories. This is a U.S. requirement and is not stated here as a requirement of the Government of Canada. Acceptance of any report remains the decision of the receiving authority.
