Sample taking
It’s not invasive: oral smear (the material is furnished by the laboratory).
Delivery time
From 2 to 4 weeks. The report will be personally given to the involved people. No information will be given by phone.
Documents
A document is required (identity card, passport or residency permit). Without an official document, it’s required a birth certificate for the child. Without no one of the required documents, the analysis won’t be carried out.
Qualified laboratory
The Laboratory of molecular diagnostic in Lugano follows the “federal law on genetic exams on the human being” (LEGU, 810.12)” and it’s licensed by the law ISO 17025. This mark of quality, which is given by the Swiss Accreditation Service (www.sas.ch), confirms the technical competences regarding every performance.
Particular dispositions
The laboratory supposes that people who require this kind of analysis are in concert. If they’re not, a lawyer is required. Moreover, children who are older than 12 years old must be informed about the sample taking and about the possible psychological consequences.
