AlphaBiolabs has over 20 years’ experience providing market-leading ISO 17025-accredited DNA testing services for members of the public, family law solicitors, coroners, the police, and local authorities.

We offer a wide range of DNA tests depending on your needs, including post-mortem DNA testing to verify biological relationships (e.g. paternity) or to assist with identification after death.

There are many reasons why you might need post-mortem DNA testing, including:

  • For emotional closure: especially in circumstances where there has been longstanding uncertainty regarding a biological relationship (e.g. paternity)
  • Sense of identity: understanding your true biological roots
  • Changes to official documents: such as a child’s birth certificate
  • Inheritance, wills & probate: to be recognised as the legal heir to a family member’s estate
  • Access to additional benefits: insurance payments and other financial entitlements linked to a loved one who has passed
  • To ascertain a relationship to a known family member, to help with identification
