Personal DNA profiling
About the test
Your DNA profile for future comparisons
A personal DNA profile is a set of data from selected genetic markers. It can be used for later comparison with another DNA sample when a person's identity or biological relationship needs to be assessed.
This service creates a profile for one person. A specific paternity or kinship conclusion requires a separate comparison and suitable data from the other participants.
Choose the service you need
You can choose DNA profiling or profiling and storage. Before choosing storage, clarify what is stored, for how long and under which conditions.
What will you receive?
A report containing the data from the DNA markers analysed. This profile is not whole-genome sequencing, a disease risk assessment or an ancestry test.

Frequently asked questions
Does this test establish paternity?
One person's profile does not establish paternity on its own. This requires a comparison of DNA data from the relevant people and a separate conclusion.
Is the sample, DNA or only the profile data stored?
If the storage service is selected, the item stored, storage period and conditions of use must be agreed separately.
Is the profile automatically suitable for court use?
If you plan to use the profile for legal purposes, agree on the identification, collection and documentation requirements before the sample is collected.
When will the profile be ready?
Confirm the turnaround time and how the report will be delivered when ordering.
