Orchid Cellmark has completed tens of thousands of paternity and immigration cases to date and has never had its results successfully challenged, as the company has established rigorous chain of custody documentation and strict analytical standards. We have also developed a network of more than 500 clinical laboratories across Canada to provide clients with easy access for submitting samples for DNA testing.

 
 

The staff at Orchid Cellmark is actively committed to a philosophy of "excellence in customer service." This, we believe, has helped us to become the largest private Canadian DNA testing company. Our clients include companies and individuals from the private sector, as well as public sector organizations, municipal police agencies throughout the country, and Canadian Embassies and High Commission Offices located in foreign countries.

 
We offer the widest range of DNA testing technology of any lab in Canada. In addition to providing DNA testing services to assist in the resolution of paternity & maternity suits, Orchid Cellmark is involved in the resolution of biological relationships in immigration & citizenship matters, forensic cases and estate disputes. Forensic applications include sample comparisons, criminal and auto insurance investigations, and providing defence lawyers with a vehicle to substantiate test results performed by other agencies.
