What Items Can Be Tested?
You might be surprised by what can yield a DNA sample. In the world of forensic DNA, we look for biological material that has been left behind. Some common items we can test include:
- Undergarments or Clothing: These are the most common items submitted for testing.
- Bedsheets and Pillowcases: These can hold traces of hair, skin cells, or other fluids.
- Used Tissues or Napkins: Saliva and mucus are excellent sources of DNA.
- Condoms: These provide a very high success rate for identifying male and female DNA profiles.
- Personal Items: Toothbrushes, hairbrushes, or even cigarette butts can sometimes be used, though success rates vary based on how the item was handled.
Remember, the success of the test depends on the quality of the sample. To keep your sample viable, handle it as little as possible and store it in a paper envelope (avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture and degrade DNA).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is infidelity DNA testing legal in South Carolina?
Yes, it is legal to perform these tests for your own personal knowledge and peace of mind. However, because they are usually performed on items like clothing without the consent of all parties, they are typically not admissible in court.
How long does it take to get results?
Typically, once the lab receives the sample, results are available within 5 to 10 business days. We use CLIA Certified Partners to ensure your results are both fast and accurate.
Is my information kept private?
Absolutely. We maintain the highest levels of confidentiality. Your results are only shared with you, and we do not sell your genetic data to third parties.
Can I use the results for a divorce?
While the information can help you make personal decisions or provide leverage in negotiations, most South Carolina judges require "Legal DNA Testing" with a documented chain of custody for it to be entered as formal evidence.
Where do you perform the testing?
We are a mobile service! We can meet you at your home, a private office, or any location where you feel safe and comfortable in the Greenville or Spartanburg area.
