Clinical Genetics at FIL

Human Herpes Virus Testing

Fairfax Identity Laboratories (FIL) has developed a proprietary panel of DNA-based tests that can identify and quantify the eight known human herpes viruses in the blood. The panel is variant-specific and can therefore detect each subtype even in the presence of other, closely related members of the family. For more information, please visit our website at herpes-testing.com

Clinical Trial Support

FIL supports a wide variety of clinical trials, performing services from mutation detection in blood samples to comparative microsatellite analysis of patient samples. Our clients include researchers from government, academic, and the pharmaceutical industry. FIL is CLIA certified and GLP compliant to assist in the generation of data for an investigational new drug (IND) submission to the FDA.
  • Mutation detection
  • SNP identification
  • STR (microsatellite) analysis
  • Quantitative PCR analysis
  • DNA sequencing: normal vs tumor tissue
  • Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing

STR Authentication of Cell banks

The NIH has recently recommended that cell lines used in research undergo authentication to verify their identity (NIH Notice Number OT-OD-08-17) and recommended restriction of NIH funding only to those who authenticate their cell lines. FIL provides rapid, high quality, cost-effective analysis of mammalian cell lines.

Human Cell lines - FIL uses the 13 core STR loci that comprise the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) convicted offender database to identify human-derived cell banks. These are the same loci used by ATCC to test their cell lines.
