Sample coordination office · Pakistan
Your sample, tracked from Pakistan to the international laboratory.
We coordinate the required documentation and international shipping to the laboratory handling your test.
The testing itself happens in the United Kingdom, the United States or Turkey — not in Pakistan. We handle everything up to the lab door, and everything after your report arrives.
Where your sample goes
6 stages- Sample given
- Identity and order verified
- Sealed, labelled and documented
- Dispatched by DHL
- Testing at the partner laboratory
- Report issued to you
Courier transit to the laboratory normally takes 3–5 working days. Laboratory processing time depends on the test and is confirmed in writing when you order.
What our Pakistan office does, and what it doesn't
People often assume a DNA service in Pakistan runs its own laboratory. Ours does not, and we would rather you knew that before you book than after.
We do this, here in Pakistan
- Receive buccal swab samples from customers
- Verify each sample against the customer and order details
- Prepare and package samples for international shipment
- Complete the shipping and supporting documentation
- Dispatch by DHL or other international courier, and track the shipment
- Coordinate with the laboratory and support you through your order
We do not do this in Pakistan
- DNA testing or DNA extraction
- Genetic analysis
- PCR, sequencing or any other laboratory testing
- Preparing DNA test results inside Pakistan
- Genetic or medical diagnosis, or medical treatment
- Operating as a pathology or diagnostic laboratory
So who does test it?
Established laboratories in the United Kingdom, the United States and Turkey, each working under its own accreditation. We hold a copy of every current certificate and publish it, so you can check the credentials behind your report rather than take our word for them.

How an order runs, start to finish
Five stages. You are told which laboratory your sample is going to, and you can track it the whole way.
-
01
Order and book
Choose your test and book a time at the Pakistan office. We confirm the price and who needs to attend.
-
02
Give the swab
A painless cheek swab, taken at our office. Bring the identity documents listed in your booking confirmation.
-
03
Sealed and shipped
We seal, label and document the samples, then hand them to DHL. You receive the tracking number.
-
04
Tested abroad
The partner laboratory in the UK, US or Turkey carries out the testing and writes the report.
-
05
Report to you
Results are issued by the laboratory and sent to you. We stay available for anything to do with your order.
Why send samples abroad at all?
Because the report has to be trusted by whoever asked for it — a court, an embassy, a solicitor, or just the family involved. Sending the sample to an established laboratory abroad means the analysis and the report come from that laboratory, under its own accreditation and quality system.
One chain, documented
Receiving, sealing, paperwork and dispatch are recorded at each step, in the format the receiving laboratory requires.
Tracked, not posted and hoped
Samples travel by international courier with an airway bill you can follow from Pakistan to the laboratory's door.
The lab's own report
Results are prepared and issued by the laboratory that did the testing, on its own letterhead. We do not write or alter them.
Someone local to ask
You deal with a woman-owned, owner-led office in Pakistan, in your own language and time zone, rather than emailing another continent.
Women-owned
Owned and led by Sidra Kalsoom.
Sidra started this business to help people. She built the office so that anyone in Pakistan who needs an internationally accepted DNA report has someone accountable to deal with — someone who explains plainly what we do, what the laboratory does, and stays with the order until the sample reaches the laboratory.
Questions people ask
Not covered here? Call +92 307 456 1958 or email info@dnalabpakistan.com.
Do you test the DNA yourselves?
No. Our Pakistan office coordinates, verifies, packages and ships samples. All DNA extraction,
analysis and reporting is done by the partner laboratory in the United Kingdom, the United
States or Turkey. We are not a pathology or diagnostic laboratory in Pakistan.
Which laboratory will handle my sample?
It depends on the test you order and the requirements of whoever asked for it. We tell you
which laboratory and which country before your sample is dispatched, and the laboratory's
details appear on your report.
How long does it take?
Courier transit from Pakistan to the laboratory normally takes 3–5 working days.
Processing time at the laboratory varies by test type and is confirmed in writing when you
order. We do not quote a single turnaround for every test, because the sample has to travel
internationally first.
Can I use the result for a visa, court case or inheritance matter?
Legal and immigration matters require a test taken under the receiving authority's
chain-of-custody rules, and whether a report is accepted is decided by that authority —
an embassy, court or government department — not by us. Tell us what the result is for
before you book, so the correct test and documentation are arranged from the start.
Is my information kept private?
Your details and sample are shared only with the laboratory carrying out your test and the
courier handling the shipment. We do not release results to anyone other than the people named
on your order without your written instruction.
Will you explain my results?
We can explain the process, your paperwork and anything about the shipment. We cannot give
genetic or medical interpretation, diagnosis or advice — those come from the issuing
laboratory, and for health-related questions from a qualified clinician.
Start with a conversation, not a payment
Tell us what the test is for and who needs to be tested. We will tell you which test fits, which laboratory it goes to, what it costs and how long it realistically takes.
