»  I noticed some laboratories say they are AABB accredited. What's the difference and why should it be important to me?  (Back)

You will find many laboratories advertise, "Testing is performed by an AABB Accredited Laboratory." The fact is, there are less than 50 laboratories in the world that are AABB Accredited parentage and relationship testing facilities. You might ask how is it possible to advertise AABB Accreditation if they are not one of those labs? The answer is, there are many laboratories that act as a middleman for an AABB Accredited laboratory. Affiliated Genetics performs all testing at our 12,000-sq.ft. laboratory in Salt Lake City, Utah. We do not send any samples out for processing. All testing has been performed under our strict testing procedures and guidelines for over eleven years.
