| Why is Chain of Custody Important in DNA Testing? |
|
In a DNA relationship test, a chain of custody properly identifies the clients and their samples, as well as provides a time line of who collected and handled the samples. A chain of custody must be maintained in order to ensure the integrity of the test, and in order for the test results to be admissible for legal purposes. Over-the-counter DNA test kits which you complete in your home are not court admissible.
