About
Us
 Since
1990, Fairfax Identity Laboratories (FIL) has been at the forefront
of DNA profiling techniques and innovations. The science of
DNA profiling relies on technology that allows an individual's
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) to be examined and analyzed.
DNA is the genetic material that
we all inherit from our parents. It is considered the chemical
blueprint that makes each of us unique. The one exception
is identical twins, who have identical DNA. The complete
genetic blueprint is found in almost all cells of the body.
Thus, DNA profiling can be performed from many types of
biological specimens including blood, buccal (mouth) swabs,
sperm, autopsy specimens, and products of conception. DNA
is composed of subunits called base pairs, with a person's
DNA encoded in 6 billion such base pairs.
Although most of
the DNA within all of us is very similar, there is sufficient
variability to make each of us unique. This genetic variability
cast within the base pairs of our DNA is inherited and
forms the basis for DNA profiling useful not only in identifying
the perpetrators of crimes but also in establishing parentage
(paternity and maternity) and other family relationships.
99.9% Certainty of Identification.
FIL's rigorous standards
guarantee the credible evidence our clients demand.
Our results affect decisions regarding paternity, immigration,
estate settlement, adoption, and other issues of family
relationships. While many other DNA laboratories test to
a probability of 99.0%, our laboratory has technologies
on hand to exclude or provide a minimum probability of paternity
of 99.9%, ten times more information than an average laboratory
may provide. 99.0% is the reliability that attorneys, physicians,
social services agencies, and crime experts need to strengthen
their cases. 99.9% is the reliability Fairfax Identity
Laboratories provides the first time testing is performed.
