Paternity Testing Overview

Paternity Testing Overview

Fast, Powerful and Proven
DNA paternity testing is the most advanced and accurate method available for resolving parentage for medical, legal, or personal reasons. With advanced DNA technology, paternity testing is accurate, rapid and affordable. Paternity can now be determined as soon as three days after sample collection.

How does it work?
During a DNA paternity test, a buccal (mouth) swab specimen is collected from the child and the alleged father. Testing the mother is optional. The sample which is collected contains cells, and most of the the cells in our body contain a full set of genetic information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). A person's DNA represents a "genetic blueprint" and like a fingerprint, is unique to each individual. At the laboratory, the DNA is extracted from the cell and specific regions of the DNA are amplified by a process known as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for careful examination. The DNA pattern of the child is compared to that of the alleged father. Because the genetic information of a child is inherited from his/her biological parents, examination of the DNA of the child will conclusively determine whether the alleged father is the true biological father of the child.
