Indications for Paternity DNA Testing
Several situations might prompt the need for a paternity DNA test in India:

- Securing Child Support: Women uncertain of the biological father of their child can use the test to establish paternity and thereby formalize child support arrangements.

Genetic Markers and Testing Methodology
Paternity testing works by comparing a child's DNA with that of the alleged father, focusing on specific genetic markers that reveal a biological relationship. DNA Labs India utilizes advanced Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profiling with a panel of 24 to 46 markers (depending on the test type) to ensure the highest level of discrimination. This methodology exceeds the minimum standards recommended by international forensic guidelines.
The analysis is performed using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification followed by capillary electrophoresis, ensuring accurate and reproducible results. Each sample is processed in duplicate to eliminate any possibility of error.
Test Accuracy and Reliability
Our paternity tests deliver results with a probability of paternity of >99.9% when the alleged father is included, and 100% when excluded. This level of accuracy is achieved through rigorous quality control and adherence to international standards.
