What Is a Paternity DNA Test?
A paternity DNA test determines the biological father of a child by comparing specific genetic markers (STRs) from the alleged father and child. DNA Labs India uses advanced 24-marker and 46-marker STR profiling to deliver conclusive results with 99.99% accuracy for inclusions and 100% for exclusions. Our ISO 9001 certified lab ensures strict quality control and confidentiality.
How Does the Test Work?
DNA is extracted from the collected samples and analyzed at our Delhi laboratory. We target specific short tandem repeat (STR) loci that are highly variable among individuals. The child inherits one allele from each biological parent; by comparing the alleged father's profile with the child's, we can statistically confirm or exclude paternity.
Note: For legal cases (court, visa, immigration), a strict chain-of-custody process is followed. Samples are collected by an authorized medical professional, and identity verification is mandatory.
Types of Paternity DNA Tests
We offer two primary categories: Legal Paternity Tests (with chain of custody) and Peace of Mind Tests (for personal knowledge). Both use the same high-accuracy STR analysis.
| Test Type | Purpose | Sample Collection | Turnaround Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legal Paternity Test | Court, visa, immigration, inheritance | In-person at lab or authorized clinic | 5–7 business days |
| Peace of Mind Test | Personal knowledge | Home self-collection kit (buccal swab) | 3–5 business days |
Sample Collection Methods
We offer multiple sample collection options to suit your needs:
- Buccal Swab: Painless, non-invasive; ideal for infants and adults.
- Blood: Collected by a phlebotomist at our Delhi center.
- Hair/Nails: For discreet testing; requires root bulbs or nail clippings.
- Self-Collection Kit: Order online, collect samples at home, and mail them back.
Accuracy and Reliability
Our laboratory uses 24-marker and 46-marker STR analysis, exceeding the minimum 16 markers recommended by international guidelines. This ensures:
- Probability of paternity ≥99.99% when the alleged father is included.
- 100% exclusion when the alleged father is not the biological father.
- Rigorous quality checks under ISO 9001 certified processes.
