Mitotyping Technologies, LLC
Mitotyping Technologies has extensive experience with the difficult samples often encountered in DNA testing, such as naturally shed hairs (telogen roots), hair fragments, and aged or burned skeletal material. We also offer an "ancient DNA analysis" for the most difficult samples where the mtDNA is degraded. We process each sample in our care individually from the start to the conclusion of the analysis. This gives us the opportunity to deal with the specific handling requirements of each sample, especially if it is degraded or minimal. We will never batch your sample with others, meaning that the level of protection from cross-contamination is extremely high.
Because mitochondrial DNA analysis is all we do, we are focused on addressing current issues in the field such as contamination, heteroplasmy, and population genetics. We also have extensive experience in the courtroom in both admissibility hearings and trials.We have been accredited by ASCLD/LAB since 2001, and are permitted in the area of forensic identity by the New York State Department of Health.
