About Orchid Cellmark

About Orchid Cellmark

HistoryOrchid Cellmark was created from the combination of two of the most experienced nationwide paternity testing firms in the industry. Our experience in the field of paternity testing dates back to 1979 and includes many industry firsts, like the development and early application of DNA technology to both paternity and forensic testing.

Orchid BioSciences, Inc.

Orchid BioSciences, Inc., one of the largest providers of identity DNA testing services in the world, markets its paternity testing services under the Orchid Cellmark name. In the human identity area, Orchid BioSciences provides DNA testing services for forensic, family relationship and security applications. In the agriculture field, Orchid BioSciences provides DNA testing services for food safety and selective trait breeding. Orchid BioSciences’ strong market positions in these segments reflect the company’s accredited laboratories in the U.S. and U.K., its innovative genetic analysis technologies and expertise, and its reputation for exceptional quality, reliability and customer service. More information on Orchid can be found at www.orchid.com.

As part of Orchid BioSciences, Orchid Cellmark has access to cutting edge DNA analysis technology including the recent development of a powerful new class of genetic markers called single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs. Orchid BioSciences was the first laboratory to receive approval from the American Association of Blood Banks to use SNPs on a standalone basis for paternity testing. Orchid BioSciences has used this same technology in its groundbreaking efforts to help identify the remains from the 9/11 World Trade Center disaster.
