DNA Testing Unusual Samples

DNA SOLUTIONS has been testing a large variety of different samples for several years, so the ability to supply us with a large number of different samples makes getting results for your paternity test quick and easy.

Testing unusual samples costs only £99 more than the cost of a full paternity test.

Unusual samples commonly used:

• A used toothbrush
• Nasal discharge (i.e. a snotty tissue)
• Ear wax on a cotton bud (used to clean the ear)
• A used band-aid

To ensure the sample is well preserved, place into a labelled envelope. This allows the sample to dry completely and gives us the optimal chance to extract workable DNA.

We obtain DNA from toothbrushes in around 90% of cases, and from ear-cotton buds in 99% of cases. In the unlikely event that we fail to obtain DNA from your unusual sample, we will refund you the full cost of the test, minus the £99 unusual sample fee, if you cannot send us further samples to test.

Note: If you then choose to send another unusual sample, there will be an additional charge of £99.
