Description
The relationship testing market has been growing steadily over the last twenty years, increasing on average
at a rate of 12% per year. Today, it is projected that the annual number of persons that will participate in
some type of paternity or extended relationship test will exceed 1 million. In sharp contrast, it is estimated
that less than 200,000 persons were tested in 1988.
By all accounts, the outlook for the DNA paternity and relationship testing market is strong. A high growth
industry tends to attract a dynamic range of players, each with a range of skill sets and ethics. As the DNA
testing industry evolves and the sophistication of the clientele increases, there will be a need for firms that
are offering DNA collection to differentiate themselves through quality benchmarks. The National Association
for DNA Collection and Management (NADCM), a division of Chromosomal Laboratories, Inc, was created
with that vision in mind and has culminated in the first edition of Standard Methods for the Collection of
Biological Specimens for Paternity and Relationship Testing.
Standard Methods for the Collection of Biological Specimens for Paternity and Relationship Testing is a
comprehensive sample collection resource that draws from a number of peer reviewed publications
representing industry best practice, including Standards for Relationship Testing Laboratories, 7th edition,
published by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), Forensic DNA Typing, by John Butler, and
regulations from New York State and U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
