DNA Testing in Virginia Beach, VA

Discover Your Ancestry DNA Results

LABS TO GO has been providing medical and testing services to individuals and employers throughout the United States since 2008.

At LABS TO GO, we offer a variety of tests, including DNA testing, to discover your ancestry DNA results. DNA testing that we offer can be used for different purposes:

Adoption.

DNA testing allows people to uncover family relationships and helps adopted individuals find their birth families.

Identity.

With the help of DNA testing, it is possible to identify and distinguish individuals. It can be used for DNA banking, DNA profiling, and child identification services.

Genealogy and ancestry.

This type of DNA testing is used to uncover family history. It can tell you more about your ancestors, where they came from, and determine your ancestors’ countries of origin. It will also help identify Native American lineage, and the results can be used to support tribal enrollment or disenrollment cases.

Family relationships.

DNA testing is also often used to determine family relationships between individuals. Our family relationship tests include the following: paternity (identifying whether a tested man is a biological father of a tested child), maternity (whether a tested woman is a biological mother of a tested child), grandparentage (identifying the relationship between a child and the parents of the alleged father), single grandparentage (identifying the relationship between a tested child and a single grandparent), genetic reconstruction (identifying the relationship between a child and the relatives of the alleged father), siblingship (testing two children to identify whether they share biological parents), twin zygosity (distinguishing whether twins are identical or fraternal), and paternal or maternal lineage (whether two or more individuals are related through a paternal or maternal line).

Immigration.

Our DNA testings can be used in an immigration process to provide the identity and biological relationship of a tested immigrant to a current American citizen. There are both domestic and international testing available. With international testing, we send all the necessary testing supplies and instructions to the U.S. Embassy in the country where testing is being conducted.

DNA testing results at LABS TO GO are ready in 3 to 14 business days, depending on the nature and purpose of the DNA test. If you have any questions about our DNA testing, feel free to visit our website or give us a call.

Adoption

Various tests may be used in the process of uncovering family relationships. LABS TO GO offers specialized services for both clients going through the adoption process, and clients in search of their birth families. Please contact us for more information.

Identity

DNA Identity testing is the most accurate way to identify and distinguish individuals.

DNA Banking – Child

Securely store a sample of your child’s DNA. This genetic fingerprint can help identify missing children. Available for chain of custody or personal use. DNA is stored at a secure third-party facility for optimum security.

DNA Banking – Adult

Adult DNA banking can be useful for paternity testing, estate claims, and identification purposes. Recommended for those in high-risk professions. DNA is stored at a secure third-party facility for optimum security

DNA Profiling

Available for both children and adults, a DNA profile is a document that contains identifying genetic traits. Profiles are often used for identification purposes, and can also be helpful in settling estates or inheritances. DNA profiles also help reveal any inherited traits or characteristics, including disease.

DNA Banking and Profiling services may be bundled together. This combined test option includes a Typing Report which includes a person’s allele sizes, or genetic profile, and a Banking Certificate that states the terms of storage.

Child Identification Services

Designed to answer any suspicions that one’s baby may have been inadvertently switched at the hospital. Many mothers have voiced their concern at the hospital, but do not have the option to be sure. A child identification DNA test can help allay fears.
