How Afrigenomix Works
Your trusted coordinator for DNA testing across Africa
Afrigenomix is NOT a Laboratory
We are a DNA testing coordination platform. We connect individuals with accredited, certified laboratories across Africa and handle the logistics of sample collection, test coordination, and result delivery.
Your samples are processed by ISO 17025 accredited laboratories with proven track records, embassy approvals, and court admissibility.
Your Testing Journey
Select Your Test
Browse our test catalog and select the DNA test you need (paternity, immigration, legal, prenatal, etc.). Each test listing shows:
- Which accredited laboratory will process your test
- Laboratory location and accreditations
- Pricing, turnaround time, and requirements
Submit Your Information
Complete our secure online form with participant details and upload required documents (ID, passport, consent forms). We verify your information and create your case file.
Note: Afrigenomix handles coordination only. The testing laboratory maintains your genetic data.
Sample Collection
We coordinate sample collection through verified partners or the laboratory's own collection centers:
- Legal/Immigration tests: Witnessed collection with photo ID verification
- Peace-of-mind tests: Home collection kits or walk-in appointments
- Chain of custody maintained for court-admissible results
Laboratory Testing
Your samples are transported to the accredited laboratory for analysis:
- DNA extraction and analysis using certified equipment
- Quality control and independent verification
- Results typically ready in 3-5 business days
Your genetic data remains with the laboratory. Afrigenomix never accesses or stores your DNA information.
Receive Your Results
Results are delivered securely from the laboratory:
- Digital copy via secure portal
- Printed certificate with laboratory seal
- Court-admissible documents for legal cases
Common Questions
Which laboratories do you work with?
We partner with ISO 17025 accredited laboratories in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. Each test listing specifies which laboratory will process your sample, including their location, certifications, and specializations.
Who has access to my genetic data?
Only the accredited laboratory performing your test has access to your genetic data. Afrigenomix coordinates logistics but does not receive, process, or store DNA samples or genetic information. All laboratories follow strict data protection regulations.
Are results court-admissible?
Yes. For legal DNA tests, we coordinate witnessed sample collection with proper chain of custody documentation. The laboratory issues court-admissible certificates that meet judicial requirements in Nigeria and internationally.
