The mitochondrial DNA analysis of shed hairs and hair fragments is our specialty. We have a 95.5% success rate in developing profiles from hairs of all ages and sizes and are the only forensic laboratory that uses an "ancient DNA" approach for challenged samples. Each sample is analyzed individually to account for its specific analytical needs. Click here for our recently published, peer-reviewed article in Investigative Genetics:
