Lb Genetics Information

LONG BEACH GENETICS, for which I proudly served as Laboratory Director since 1997, has historically been recognized as one of the most highly respected DNA paternity testing laboratories in California and the United States. In 2005, Long Beach Genetics officially ceased operations following a corporate acquisition. I have since joined DNA Services of America as Director of its Southern California DNA paternity testing center. ur local staff includes a highly experienced team of former Long Beach Genetics scientists and specialists who have served the Southern California legal and medical communities for over 20 years. Our legally-defensible DNA paternity tests are accepted by California Superior Courts, including the Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego County family courts. For these DNA tests, test participants are identified photographically, DNA samples are collected and processed under a strict chain-of-custody, and genetic analysis is performed by a fully certified, AABB-accredited laboratory. Because of the stringent sample identification and chain-of-custody procedures employed, all tested parties need not be present at the same time and place for their DNA sample collections. For clients who prefer or require special accommodations for greater privacy or convenience, we also provide after-hours, weekend, mobile and out-of-area service. Since joining Long Beach Genetics, I have supervised over 150,000 DNA paternity tests, testified as a DNA expert in over 50 California civil and criminal court trials, and provided Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) on DNA paternity and identification testing to over 50 private and public legal organizations throughout California. At DNA Services of America, I remain committed to providing our community with the same superior quality of DNA testing, customer service, and continuing education for which Long Beach Genetics was known.
