All human cells contain the same DNA. Whether this is blood, saliva, a hair, nails or any other biological material, DNA analysis can be carried out with the same success and accuracy.

The laboratories of DNAlogy are equipped with the most advanced technological means to solve even the most demanding DNA analysis cases. A small amount of biological material is enough for a fast, valid and scientifically-substantiated answer. The table below shows the general sample categories, which can be used in genetic material identification analyses.
