Information for Solicitors & Barristers
Established in 1987 Cellmark pioneered the introduction of DNA analysis for paternity testing and is the company of choice for many leading legal practitioners.Cellmark is accredited in the UK by the Ministry of Justice as a body that may carry out parentage tests (otherwise called DNA Testing or Paternity Testing) as directed by the civil courts in England and Wales under section 20 of the Family Law Reform Act 1969. Our test results have also been acccepted by the civil courts in Ireland in cases where the Status of Children Act 1987 applies.
DNA testing is a complex scientific process which can positively identify relationships between people. Most commonly used to establish if a man is the true biological father of a child but it also used in the analysis of the more complex relationships found in immigration cases.
In response to the requirements of our customers we now deliver the same level of scientific rigour, chain of custody management and industry leading customer service with our comprehensive family law drug & alcohol testing service.
