Can anyone do DNA analysis locally?

[rage2]

haha need it for a special project lol. Don't wanna send stuff down to New Mexico for testing.

[rage2]

No i didn't get anyone pregnate. No I didn't get cheated on. It's for a fairly nasty project haha.

You mean like DNA fingerprinting? I got mine done at a hospital once on a class field trip. It was the old children's hospital, but I'm sure pretty much any hospital can do it. Just talk to your doctor - he'll hook you up!

No we have some DNA evidence and need to find a match for it.... and no, we aren't trying to find a baby's daddy :rofl:

That's prolly a good thing, because Beyond.ca is getting rather large and it would take FOREVER to DNA test all of us... :rofl:

I didn't do it :rolleyes:

but if you really want to be CSI-shiznizzle: then you can go online and buy your own restriction enzymes and cut up your DNA, cetrefuge it, run it through an electrophoresis gel and *bam* your done....(sorry did it in University Bchem class haha...)

For some reason, this reminded me of Martha Stewart...

"Just pop in your own DNA strands, turn the centrifuge on HIGH for two minutes, and *bam*, a delicious meal for two!"

Not Martha...that's Emeril...


and I am NOT giving up my DNA for testing you need a warrant

[abyss]

I remember Bio class DNA tests! We didn't get to use our own though :( just got to replicate strawberry DNA, nothing TOO serious haha.

[Z_Fan]

I believe you can get DNA tests done in Edmonton. So even samples from here go up to Edmonton. I could be wrong...

:dunno:

gell electrophoresis :P

Maxxam labs in Calgary, I don't know where I placed their number though.

[JC Civic]

Maxxam doesn't do it in Calgary. It gets sent out to Ontario.

Are you sure? I talked to someone there about two weeks ago and she said that they have a lab fully equipped to do DNA analysis.

Regardless, I think it's easier to drop off a sample in Calgary than to send it directly to New Mexico.

[JC Civic]

I'm pretty sure. I used to work there for almost 4 years. Maxxam in Calgary mostly do environmental analysis. Out East they do all the DNA, food etc. I even went to Mississauga to help them set up the new lab, which is also their headquater. Just wondering who did you talk to at Maxxam?
