What Is a Paternity DNA Test?
A paternity DNA test determines the biological father of a child by analyzing specific genetic markers (STRs) inherited from both parents. DNA Labs India uses advanced 24-marker and 46-marker STR profiling to deliver conclusive results with 99.99% accuracy for inclusions and 100% exclusion power. Our laboratory is ISO 9001 certified, ensuring rigorous quality control and chain-of-custody compliance for legal cases.

Sample Collection Methods
DNA samples can be collected at our Aurangabad center or via our at-home self-collection kit. The most common method is a painless buccal swab (inner cheek). For legal cases, samples must be collected by a neutral third party to maintain chain of custody. Alternative samples include blood, hair follicles, or nail clippings.
- Buccal Swab: Non-invasive, painless, suitable for all ages.
- Blood Sample: Requires phlebotomy; used when swabs are not feasible.
- Hair/Nails: Must include roots/follicles; used for discreet testing.
Legal vs. Peace-of-Mind Testing
A legal paternity test follows strict chain-of-custody protocols, making results admissible in Indian courts for child custody, inheritance, or maintenance cases. A peace-of-mind test is for personal knowledge only and does not require legal documentation. Both tests use the same high-resolution STR analysis, but legal tests include additional documentation and witness verification.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the paternity test?
With 24-marker or 46-marker STR analysis, the probability of paternity is 99.99% when the alleged father is included, and 100% when excluded.
Can I do the test without the mother's sample?
Yes, the test can be performed with only the alleged father and child. Including the mother increases statistical power but is not mandatory.

Typically 3–5 working days for legal tests and 2–3 days for peace-of-mind tests. Results are delivered via email or hard copy.
