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 £75 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 £75 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 £75.
