Nasertic’s analytical laboratory is equipped with specialised instruments and highly experienced technical staff in providing forensic analytical services (person identification and determination of family relationships). Its objective is to provide analytical support that guarantees and certifies the validity of analytical results required in investigative, judicial, administrative, historical memory, or medical procedures through DNA analysis. Nasertic is working to expand the number of services included within the scope of accreditation under the ISO/IEC 17025 standard.
The forensic analytical services provided by Nasertic are:
Extraction, purification, and quantification of DNA from different matrices
Analysis of autosomal markers
Analysis of Y‑chromosome markers for paternal lineages
Analysis of mitochondrial markers for maternal lineages
Analysis of complex profiles and mixtures
Massive sequencing (NGS) and genomic analysis
DNA bank
Technical advice and consultancy
Certification and development of new analytical procedures
In addition to analytical support, Nasertic participates in intercomparison, control, and calibration programmes and shares recommendations with collaborators so that quality systems, traceability, and sample custody become more robust every day.
The analytical offering is constantly evolving to address new needs arising from technological changes, regulatory requirements, or emerging demands from different institutions.
Who is it aimed at?
The service is aimed at any institution requiring robust and validated analytical support for the identification of persons and family relationships: law‑enforcement agencies conducting investigations, prosecutors’ offices and courts, historical‑memory organisations, and associations of relatives of missing persons.
Citizens in general, through law‑enforcement bodies and judicial authorities in investigations of crimes, disappearances, or disasters; individuals and families seeking to recover the identity of missing relatives; associations working to preserve historical memory.
