OUR CORE SCIENTIFIC TEAM
We are a family-run laboratory and our scientists are among the most experienced in their field. Our directors, supervisors and managers
each have more than 15 years’ experience in high throughput, high-quality DNA testing in a demanding environment.

Our key scientists have provided expert testimony in court, and given DNA advice and comment to the media on civic and criminal cases.

Our team has helped to identify victims of mass disasters, such as of the 2014 Air Asia Indonesia QZ8501 crash, the 2011 Japanese Tsunami,
and 2005’s Hurricane Katrina in the USA.

One of PTC’s owners and founders, Michelle Beckwith, is on the board of forensic DNA management and mass fatality consulting organisation,
SNA International. She is a key contributing author of the Mass Fatality Identification Team Handbook, adopted by almost all rescue teams,
including The Red Cross.

Testing, required for Legal and
Immigration DNA Testing in many
countries.
The AABB sets all of the regulations for
standardisation testing, reporting, and
forms, as well as the setting minimum test
requirements.
ISO17025 is an international accreditation
for paternity and forensic testing from the
International Standards Organisation.

This is a requirement in many countries
around the World to perform Legal testing,
including Thailand.

This authority also sets chain-of-custody
rules for Legal Testing.

DNA REGULATION
& ACCREDITATION

DNA Relationship Testing is not
regulated by a government
agency. Therefore, accreditation
is the only safeguard a private
individual has to know that a
paternity testing laboratory is
performing sound and accepted
scientific methodology.

Paternity Testing Corporation
(PTC) holds numerous
accreditations, making us one of
the most utilised and trusted
DNA labs in the World.

INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATIONS
NYDOH is a Relationship Testing
Accreditation. New York is the only state in
the USA that regulates standards for
paternity testing and this stringent
accreditation is essential to test anyone in
New York for paternity.

Paternity Testing Corporation is NYDOH
accredited for Parentage & Identity
Testing.
CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement
Amendments) are regulatory standards
that apply to all clinical laboratory testing
on humans in the USA, except clinical
trials and basic research. Paternity Testing
Corporation is CLIA-accredited for our
Clinical Testing.

IN THE COURTS

Jimmy Eacker Murder Trial
This case has an on-going evidentiary hearing to decide whether the
prosecution criminally withheld evidence in this case, ultimately the
defense is trying to get Mr Eacker a new trial, or have his conviction
dropped. Samples of the vaginal swab have been sent to Paternity
Testing Corporation by request of the Alaska Police department
to assist in this case.
READ ABOUT IT IN THE NEWS:

Theopolis Hughes Johnson II Murder Case
The case is a statutory rape and murder case of a 13 year old pregnant girl.
Paternity Testing Corporation issued a report stating there was a 99.992%
probability that the son Theopolis Hughes Johnson III was that father of
the deceased girl's baby. While the Missouri state highway patrol also
concluded it was the DNA of the father Theopolis Hughes Johnson II,
who was on the vaginal swab from the deceased girl. The girl was
22 weeks’ pregnant at the time of death.
http://www.marshallnews.com/story/1779911.html

Johnny Briscoe Murder Case
This was a wrongful conviction, and framed case for murder by an acquaintance.
Paternity Testing Corporation processed the DNA samples from the cigarettes that
were forgotten by the St Louis Police Department's crime lab, to exonerate him.
http://columbiabusinesstimes.com/5556/2009/09/04/dna-lab-solves-crimes-changes-lives/

Arbie Dean Williams Murder Case
This is the investigation in to the death of 15 year old Linda Strait in 1982. At the
time, DNA testing was not available. In 1998, prosecutors sent the DNA laced pillow
case to Paternity Testing Corporation. Paternity Testing Corporation was able to
obtain a partial DNA profile from the pillowcase. Which led prosecutors to a
suspect, that was already incarcerated for another crime.
http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/news/techinnovations/2003-06-05-strait-dna_x.htm

Anthony Woods Rape Case
This is a wrongful conviction case. Woods refused to ever admit wrongdoing
causing him to spend 18 years in prison, even though he would have been released
earlier if he admitted to the crime. In 2005 Paternity Testing Corporation obtained
a partial profile from the derogated sample from this case, exonerating Woods.
Woods' conviction has since been overturned.

SOME THINGS
YOU SHOULD KNOW
Trying to choose between DNA laboratories can be diﬀicult,
as most people are not shopping for a paternity test every day.
In the following slides are some things that can help you to make sure
you are using a real, accredited laboratory or not.
1. Questions You Should Ask Your DNA Lab (and our answers)
2. What’s So Important About a 99.99% Guarantee? (99.99% explained)

Laboratories
THAILAND
PTC

“THE RIGHT ANSWER FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME.”

ª  PTC maintains a guaranteed minimum 99.99% Policy on ALL but one of our
standard relationship tests.
ª  Due to being such a new technology, our Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity test (via
blood sample) currently has a guarantee of 99.9%.
ª  A mutation or a motherless test will NOT affect this policy, as we continue
to test the sample until the Paternity Index (PI) is 10,000 or an inclusion
rate of 99.99%.
ª  An At-Home/Peace-of-Mind Test will NOT affect this policy. Just because
a client choses a peace-of-mind (non-Legal) test, does not mean that they
do not deserve proper testing and a correct answer.

ª  If there is not enough genetic material to perform the test (such as when testing
unusual samples, such as a toothbrush, cigarette butt, etc.), we will request a
different sample to continue the test and to honour our 99.99% Policy.
