Pathology Laboratories

Look under this Yellow Pages® heading for information on pathology laboratories. Pathology labs provide pathology and medical diagnostic services to doctors, specialists and hospitals as well as commercial and government organisations in Australia and internationally. Pathology labs can provide genetic testing for disease susceptibility, parentage, individual identity, forensics, and sports performance; animal pathology to determine parentage, pedigree, traits, and disease susceptibility; and plant pathology for traits and disease susceptibility. They can also provide DNA testing as well as mundane pathological services such as testing for corporate health checks and insurance checks.

Pathology labs may provide services such as paternity test to establish parentage and for legal disputes, forensic tests to resolve crimes or identify individuals, sibling analysis, grand-parentage test, first cousin analysis to establish family blood lines, twin zygosity test, DNA preservation and DNA cards. They can also provide commercial testing services such as pre employment screening, employee health screening, executive health screening, occupational health screening, drug and alcohol testing, and insurance testing.

There are pathology labs that offer fully accredited legal DNA tests and even simple home DNA test to resolve any paternity issues. These home DNA test come in kit form and are shipped to customers who then gather samples themselves. These samples are then sent back to the laboratory for testing. Results can be mailed, sent electronically via email, and sometimes checked via secure connection to the lab’s website. Pathology labs have partner hospitals and institutions for the gathering of samples for testing. In some cases, pathology labs can even go to a client’s premises such as the company office, factory, or a client’s home. All tests done by pathology labs are kept strictly confidential.
