About Us
A Positive, Safe, Patient-Focused Environment
CARIGEN is a partnership of molecular biologists with extensive backgrounds in human DNA identification, plant genetics and molecular diagnostics. Based at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, we pair academic rigor with a genuine commitment to client care.
Accredited by the College of American Pathologists since 2020 and by AABB, the only AABB-accredited laboratory in the English-speaking Caribbean.
Why CAP and AABB accreditation matter
CAP accreditation means our laboratory is inspected against the same standards used by leading hospitals worldwide. We are also AABB accredited, the only AABB-accredited laboratory in the English-speaking Caribbean, a further independent assessment of our quality systems. For a paternity result that may be used in court, that is the difference between a number and a result you can rely on.
