DNA Banking for the Future
To protect your DNA sample for years to come, consider having Beta Paternity store it for you. Through its DNA banking service, Beta Paternity provides safe and secure storage of buccal (cheek) swab DNA samples for 15 years.
Many individuals bank their DNA to ensure that it’s available in the future should the need for DNA testing arise. Banked DNA can be used in tests to determine family relationships or identify missing persons. It can also be used to create a record of a person’s genetic makeup. In the future, such records are likely to prove very useful in identifying and better understanding hereditary diseases and other genetic characteristics.
Beta Paternity’s DNA banking service begins with the painless collection of loose cheek cells using buccal swabs, which are sent to you in a Beta Self-Collection™ kit. Once we receive the samples from you, we test them to ensure they contain viable DNA. After the presence of DNA is confirmed in the samples, we place them in specially sealed packs in a safe and secure facility. We then provide you with paperwork stating the names of the people you authorize to retrieve your samples, the date the banking service ends, and other important details.
