Sample coordination office · Pakistan
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.
Tested only by accredited laboratories — certificates publishedChain of custody
We run everything up to the laboratory door. The laboratory runs everything inside it.
Logistics, paperwork and people — in your language and time zone.
The science, under its own accreditation and quality system.
Accreditation
Your nutrition, fitness or wellness report comes from an accredited laboratory working to international standards — and we publish every certificate so you can verify it yourself.

What the badges on a certificate mean
The benchmark for testing-laboratory competence — methods, staff, equipment and quality system, assessed by a national accreditation body.
Quality and competence requirements for medical laboratories that test human samples.
The UK's national accreditation body. It assesses laboratories against standards such as ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 15189.
College of American Pathologists — a peer-inspected laboratory accreditation programme widely used by US labs.
US federal certification for laboratories that test human samples, covering quality control and staff qualifications.
The Turkish Accreditation Agency — Turkey's national body for accrediting laboratories to international standards.
Every accreditation belongs to the laboratory named on it. DNA Testing Solutions holds no laboratory accreditation and performs no testing.

How an order moves
You know which lab your sample goes to before it leaves Pakistan — and you can watch it get there.
Pick your test and a time at the Pakistan Coordination Center. We confirm price and who attends.
You sign a consent form, then give a painless cheek swab. Bring your ID.
Sealed and handed to DHL. You get the tracking ID to follow it yourself.
The accredited lab in the UK, US or Turkey runs the test under its own standards.
Issued by the laboratory and delivered to you exactly as issued.
Nothing hidden
The moment your sample leaves Pakistan, you receive its DHL tracking ID. Follow every checkpoint yourself, from Pakistan to the laboratory's door.
Illustration. Your real timeline appears on DHL with exact times.
Integrity & consent
No shortcuts, no favours, no "adjustments". That's what keeps a DNA report worth trusting.
Every participant signs a consent form before any swab. Under-16s only with a parent or guardian's consent. No consent, no sample.
The accredited laboratory produces and issues your report under its own standards. Nobody, including us, can edit what it says.
Requests for a "desired" result, or to change one, are refused — every time, no exceptions.
Every hand-off is documented, the lab is named before dispatch, and the DHL tracking ID is yours.
Our integrity promise. The result you receive is the result the laboratory issued — nothing added, nothing removed, nothing arranged.

She built DTS so that anyone in Pakistan who needs an internationally accepted DNA report has someone accountable to deal with — from the first call until the sample reaches the laboratory.
Questions
Search or pick a topic. Answers are short and specific to how our Pakistan → lab route works.
No. Our Pakistan Coordination Center 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.
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.
Book an appointment online, or call our office on +92 307 456 1958 for guidance. Tell us what the test is for and who needs to be tested, and we confirm the right test, the price and the documents to bring before you pay.
Our Pakistan Coordination Center works by appointment so that each sample can be verified and documented properly. Walk-in times, where available, are confirmed when you book.
No. A soft swab is rubbed inside the cheek for a few seconds. It is painless, needs no needles, and is suitable for newborns and elderly participants alike.
Photo identification for every adult being tested, and the birth certificate or B-Form for any child. Legal and immigration tests have stricter identification rules, which we send with your booking confirmation.
Usually you will be asked not to eat, drink, smoke or chew gum for a short time before the swab so the sample is clean. We confirm the exact instruction for your test in your booking confirmation.
Only the person being tested. For nutrition, fitness and wellness tests that is usually just you. If a test involves more than one person, every participant provides their own sample and signs their own consent form.
Most tests use a painless cheek-swab sample. Our Pakistan Coordination Center receives it, verifies it against your order and documents it. The Gut Microbiome Test uses an at-home sample kit, which you return sealed.
Courier transit from Pakistan to the laboratory normally takes 3 to 5 working days. Processing time at the laboratory varies by test and is confirmed in writing when you order.
Yes. As soon as your parcel is dispatched we share the DHL tracking ID (airway bill number) with you. You can follow every scan yourself on DHL's website, from Pakistan to the laboratory's door. Nothing about your shipment is hidden from you.
On DHL's own tracking page, or with the Track box on our website. Enter the tracking ID we sent you to see each checkpoint with its date, time and location.
We do. Shipping documents and the laboratory's own paperwork are completed at the Pakistan Coordination Center before dispatch, in the format the receiving laboratory requires.
The laboratory tells us and we arrange a fresh sample. Re-sampling and re-shipping terms depend on the laboratory's policy for your test and are set out in your order confirmation.
The partner laboratory that performed the test. The report is prepared and issued on the laboratory's own letterhead, and we do not write, interpret or alter it.
We can explain the process, your paperwork and anything about the shipment. Genetic or medical interpretation comes from the issuing laboratory, and for health-related questions from a qualified clinician.
Accuracy depends on the test and the laboratory, and each laboratory states its own figures on the report. We do not quote a single accuracy number for every test.
No. Wellness, nutrition, sports and microbiome reports give research-based insights. They are not a diagnosis and should be discussed with a qualified clinician before making health decisions.
Our focus is wellness and lifestyle DNA testing. Any test meant for an official purpose is arranged only on request, under the receiving authority's own rules and with signed consent from every participant. Whether a report is accepted is decided by that authority, not by us.
Yes. Every participant signs a consent form before any sample is taken. Without signed consent, no sample is accepted and nothing is shipped.
You must be at least 16 years old to order or consent to a test. A parent or legal guardian may authorise testing for a minor or for an individual in their care.
No. We never accept a sample from anyone who has not given their own signed consent, or that of their legal guardian. Requests to test someone secretly are refused.
We guarantee that the result you receive is exactly the one the accredited laboratory issued, produced under its own standards and quality controls. Nobody, including us, can change what it says.
No. Requests to change a result, or to arrange a particular outcome, are refused every time. The report is issued directly by the laboratory and reaches you exactly as issued.
No, and we never claim to be. Accreditation belongs to the partner laboratories that perform the testing. We are a coordination and shipping service, and any document marked as issued to us is an authorisation from a laboratory, not an accreditation.
ISO/IEC 17025 is the international standard for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. A laboratory accredited to it has been assessed by a national accreditation body for its methods, staff, equipment and quality system.
Open the laboratory's certificate on our Partner labs page, note the issuing body and the reference number, then look that number up on the issuing body's public register.
We hold a copy of every current certificate. If one lapses, that laboratory comes off our Partner labs page and receives no samples until it is renewed.
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.
The cheek-swab kit, verification, documentation, international courier, and the laboratory's testing and report, unless the individual test says otherwise. Extra participants or report copies are priced per order.
Laboratory and courier costs are paid in foreign currency, so prices follow exchange rates. Please confirm the price with us before ordering; we confirm it in writing before you pay.
Refunds may only be granted before your sample has been dispatched to the partner laboratory. Once the sample has shipped or laboratory processing has begun, no refund is issued, and courier charges are non-refundable.
