Missing Person's Family DNA Collection Kit

Our Missing Person's Family DNA Collection Kit is used in cases where a family member has been reported missing. With this Specimen Collection Kit, the investigating officer collects reference DNA samples from the missing person's biological parent(s), sibling(s), son or daughter, and then submits the kit to the crime laboratory. The lab then enters the results in the Family Member database in the Missing Person's Index of the National DNA Database (CODIS). Having the biological family member(s) tested in advance expedites the identification of recovered remains.

This kit can also be used for DNA identification of remains in mass casualty situations, such as plane crashes or train wrecks.
