If your child has not yet been born, and you are anxious to determine their paternity, a prenatal test will enable you to do so during pregnancy.

• Accuracy of 99.99+%
• Fast results (10-14 working days from receipt)
• Father’s and mother’s samples taken quickly and easily in your own home
• Child’s samples taken by a medical professional

Prenatal paternity tests can only be effectively conducted on a single fetus. If you are expecting twins etc, a prenatal paternity test will only be effective if they are identical (a fact that cannot be known with absolute certainty during the pregnancy). Refunds will not be given if we are unable to obtain results because of the presence of DNA from multiple, non-identical, fetuses.

As with our normal DNA paternity tests, our highly qualified scientists analyse 18 or 23 regions of DNA during a prenatal test, making our tests up to 250,000 times more accurate than those offered by other laboratories.

DNA Solutions offers high accuracy at affordable prices. We understand that parents will feel anxious about taking a paternity test during pregnancy. Our team of highly qualified scientists and customer care representatives is available to answer your questions at all times.

Pre-natal paternity testing requires a sample of fluid from the womb. This can only be taken by invasive procedures (either Chorionic Villus Sampling or an Amniocentesis), which do carry slight risks for the pregnancy (see below). Because of this, it is difficult to find clinics (certainly in the UK or Ireland) who will take samples and there are only a handful in the UK that will take samples specifically for paternity testing purposes.

If you are already planning on having an amniocentesis or CVS procedure carried out (arranged through your family doctor and generally for medical testing purposes), all that we would need is 1ml of the amniotic fluid (or equivalent volume of cells taken during a CVS procedure) preserved on a special card that we will supply (along with simple instructions for the hospital or clinic to follow) in the testing kit. Pre-natal paternity tests using your own samples cost £249 for an 18 Loci peace of mind test or £299 for a 23 Loci peace of mind test (at present we are not able to offer legal prenatal tests (i.e. results that can be used in court or with government departments), but are working to resolve this issue and will add details of legal test options as soon as possible).

If you have not already arranged a CVS or Amniocentesis procedure, we do have a doctor in Sheffield who can take the sample specifically for paternity testing purposes. The whole procedure (sampling and subsequent testing) cost £749 for an 18 Loci peace of mind test or £799 for a 23 Loci test.

If you wish to proceed with a test using our doctor, there are a number of steps that you need to follow.

1. Read the information below to determine whether you wish to proceed and whether the procedure can be carried out. There may be some flexibility in having the test done slightly earlier than the periods outlined, but it cannot be conducted any later.
2. If you wish to proceed, contact Dr Farrell’s secretary to arrange an appointment on 0114 267 4408.
3. You must have written confirmation of the mother’s bloodtype before the procedure can be carried out. This can either be arranged through your G.P., or, for an additional £100, Dr Farrell can do this on the day (but if you plan on having Dr Farrell carry out the blood-typing, payment must be made in advance at the same time as the test is paid for).
4. Once the appointment has been made, contact DNA Solutions on 0845 450 0010 (or use the "purchase" button below) to arrange to have a home testing kit sent out for the parents samples and to make payment (payment in full must be made before attending the appointment in Sheffield). We will then send out a pack containing everything you need to take the parents samples.

Simply contact the team now or call 0845 450 0010 for further information.
