How
does a DNA paternity test work?
|
You can either
take your own samples at home, quickly and painlessly and mail the
samples to the lab for results. The other option is for us to take
your samples for you, witness your ID and have a passport photo
of each person for a legally binding DNA test. Click
here for a list of all the options and details.

|
What
is in the free kit?
|
Our
DNA collection Kit is completely free, and mailed at no obligation.
It contains instructions and swabs to take samples, and other useful
DNA testing information. (click

|
|
What
type of samples do we have to provide?
|
We
can work with a variety of biological samples. However for paternity testing
we recommend a mouth swab, as is completely reliable and painless.
Often we understand people prefer to test discreetly. We can test
a variety of different samples such as a toothbrush, used cotton-bud
from the ear, etc. Click for
information about discreet samples.

|
Do
we need the mothers consent?
|
No.
Paternity tests can be performed with samples from the Father and
child only, although a higher accuracy can be obtained by including
the mother, due to our testing a very high number of loci (19 or
23 regions of DNA) DNA SOLUTIONS is able to get very high accuracies
with only the Father and child.
|
|
How
much does it cost?
|
Prices
depend on the test you are taking. Refer to our Paternity
page for paternity prices and to our Other
Relationship Tests page for prices on other relationship tests
(ie. testing two sisters, etc.)
|
| What
is the accuracy? |
We
test to a minimum of 99.99% with our cheapest paternity test. Other
relationship tests (ie. brother to sister tests) can vary between
90% to 99.9%.
Our tests are guaranteed to achieve the highest accuracy to cost ratio
of any other laboratory, due to only our lab being able to test 19
or 23 loci (19-23 regions of DNA) |
| How
long is the testing time? |
Usually
between 2 and 3 weeks. Times vary on how busy the laboratory is.
We do have express options available - click

Is
it confidential?
|
All
clients information and DNA test results are strictly confidential.
Results will only be issued to the person who signed the sample
submission form. A password which you give us, will ensure that
whoever calls cannot be given any information unless they have this
password.
