Services

DNA collection and testing coordination for every family situation

Choose a private test for personal peace of mind, or a documented legal collection when results must be presented to a court, agency, or attorney.

Paternity DNA Testing

Establish or confirm a biological father-child relationship with a straightforward cheek-swab collection.

  • Painless buccal (cheek swab) collection for adults and children
  • Available as a private/informational test or as a legal chain of custody collection
  • Alleged father and child; mother's participation optional but recommended

Available as a legal chain of custody collection. Laboratory analysis for legal testing is performed by our AABB-accredited laboratory partner.

Legal Chain of Custody Collections

Documented, witnessed collections for court, child support, custody, immigration, and estate matters.

  • Government-issued photo ID verification and photographs of each participant
  • Sealed, tamper-evident packaging with signed chain of custody paperwork
  • Specimens shipped directly to our laboratory partner for analysis

Available as a legal chain of custody collection. Laboratory analysis for legal testing is performed by our AABB-accredited laboratory partner.

Sibling DNA Testing

Determine whether two individuals are full siblings, half siblings, or unrelated when a parent is unavailable.

  • Full sibling and half sibling analysis
  • Helpful for estate, benefit, and family history questions
  • Legal or informational options available

Available as a legal chain of custody collection. Laboratory analysis for legal testing is performed by our AABB-accredited laboratory partner.

Grandparent DNA Testing

Use a grandparent's DNA to help establish a biological relationship to a grandchild.

  • Ideal when the alleged parent is unavailable, deceased, or unwilling to test
  • One or both grandparents may participate; adding both strengthens results
  • Legal or informational options available

Available as a legal chain of custody collection. Laboratory analysis for legal testing is performed by our AABB-accredited laboratory partner.

Aunt / Uncle Relationship Testing

Avuncular testing compares a child with the alleged father's brother or sister.

  • A practical alternative when the alleged father cannot be tested
  • Results are strengthened when the child's mother also participates
  • Legal or informational options available

Available as a legal chain of custody collection. Laboratory analysis for legal testing is performed by our AABB-accredited laboratory partner.

Mobile DNA Collection

We come to you — home, office, hospital, attorney's office, or care facility across the DFW metroplex.

  • Evening and weekend appointments available by request
  • Same professional documentation standards as in-office collections
  • Convenient for newborns, seniors, shift workers, and multi-party appointments

Private vs. legal testing

Private / informational

Same laboratory analysis, but participants are not formally identity-verified, so the results are for personal knowledge only and cannot be used in court.

Legal chain of custody

Identity is verified and documented at collection, and specimens stay in a controlled, witnessed chain — the standard required for child support, custody, immigration, estate, and other official matters.

Legal, court-admissible chain-of-custody DNA testing in Allen and Collin County

When DNA results will be presented to a court, a child support office, an immigration authority, or an estate attorney, the collection itself must be documented. For those cases LegacyLink performs a legal chain-of-custody collection: each participant is identified with government-issued photo ID, photographed, and swabbed by a trained collector, and the specimens are sealed in tamper-evident packaging with signed custody paperwork. Legal DNA testing is coordinated through our AABB-accredited laboratory partner, which performs all laboratory analysis and issues the official report. LegacyLink Testing & Compliance Services LLC is an independent specimen collection and testing coordination company and is not itself AABB accredited.

Relationship DNA testing when the alleged father cannot be tested

Paternity is not the only way to answer a family question. Sibling, grandparent, and aunt/uncle (avuncular) testing compare a child with other close biological relatives when the alleged father is unavailable, deceased, or unwilling to participate. Each of these relationship tests is available as an informational test for personal knowledge or as a documented legal collection. You can review current test pricing, read the frequently asked questions, or request an appointment.
