Refine Investigations with a FocusDNA Collection Kit and SNP Testing

Requesting a FocusDNA Kit is easy! Simply fill out our request form or contact our team, and we will guide you through the process. We’ll ensure you receive everything you need for proper DNA collection and submission.

The FocusDNA Kit is ideal for planned or focused testing, family tree building, and confirming familial relationships. It’s particularly effective in forensic investigative genetic genealogy (FIGG) cases, though it can be used in any scenario where DNA testing for family connections is needed.

At this time, the FocusDNA Kit is primarily available to agencies in the United States. If you’re located outside of the U.S. and need assistance, please contact us, and we will explore the best options for your needs.

GEDmatch PRO is a powerful tool for forensic investigations that allows DNA profiles to be uploaded into a secure database for matching with potential relatives. Once your FocusDNA sample is processed, SNP results are uploaded to GEDmatch PRO, where they can be used for investigative leads, case resolution, or family connection verification.

While traditional forensic DNA testing primarily identifies individual DNA profiles for matching against databases, FocusDNA testing focuses on familial connections. This allows law enforcement to identify family members and extend their investigative leads in cold cases, missing person cases, and more.

Yes, the FocusDNA Kit is intended for Research Use Only (RUO) and is not meant for diagnostic procedures. It is designed for law enforcement and genealogical research purposes. Additionally, it is not covered under Bode’s ISO 9001:2015 or ISO 18385:2016 accreditations.
