Technical requirements for paternity testing
Paternity testing is a scientific method that compares DNA samples between parents and children to verify whether there is a biological relationship. Therefore, its technical requirements are very high, which are mainly reflected in the following three aspects:
One is DNA extraction technology. This is the core part of paternity testing. The extraction and purification of samples must strictly comply with relevant operating procedures to avoid contamination and errors.
The second is PCR amplification technology. Amplification, separation and visual analysis of DNA samples involve a series of experimental parameters and experimental techniques, such as reaction system preparation, PCR reaction condition control, etc.
The third is data analysis. Paternity testing determines biological relationships by performing mathematical statistics on the results. Therefore, the correct use of data analysis software and the degree of individual data interpretation play a vital role in the standardization and reliability of paternity testing.
Qualification requirements for paternity testing
As a testing technology involving vital information, paternity testing has very strict qualification requirements, including the following three aspects:
The first is technical level standards. Relevant institutions must have certain technical levels and personnel qualifications. For example, employees must have relevant degrees or certificates and receive professional training, practical experience, and laboratory management requirements.
The second is legal and regulatory requirements. The implementation of all paternity testing work must comply with relevant requirements such as national laws and regulations, ethics, and industry standards to ensure the privacy, security, and legality of the data.
The third is credibility and credibility. The service quality and accuracy of results of paternity testing are the foundation, and customer feedback and reputation are key. Therefore, institutions must strictly follow relevant standards and provide customers with high-quality services.
Institutional certification of paternity testing
In China, paternity testing agencies need to undergo a series of professional certification and supervision to obtain relevant qualifications and licenses. Specifically, it includes the following two aspects:
One is to have an experimental license. Institutions need to have certain laboratory conditions, such as air and water purification, disinfection, ultraviolet detection and other laboratory requirements. At the same time, laboratories also need to undergo acceptance and approval by relevant national departments before they can obtain an experimental license. This is the basic condition for institutions to conduct paternity testing.
The second is to certify technical level. The national science and technology department or other authoritative institutions will provide technical guidance, review and certification for paternity testing agencies. At the same time, regulatory authorities will also regularly inspect and inspect the institution\’s laboratories and data records to ensure the quality and reliability of the institution\’s service levels.
Service standards for paternity testing
Paternity testing agencies need to follow certain service standards to protect the interests of customers and the security of data. Specifically, it includes the following three aspects:
The first is to ensure customer privacy. All data and samples should be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked or accessed. Institutions need to ensure the security of customer data.
The second is professional service standards. Institutions must provide sufficient explanations to customers before providing services. During the service period, corresponding professionals must be in charge of supervision and quality control. At the same time, they must fully consider the legitimate needs of customers.
The third is the traceability of service quality.Customers have the right to require the agency to report on each stage of the service. The agency must record and retain evidence such as data and reports, and maintain files on data and other related information generated during the service.
