Understanding Paternity DNA Testing
Paternity DNA testing is a definitive method to establish biological relationships between a father and a child. Using advanced STR (Short Tandem Repeat) profiling, DNA Labs India provides highly accurate results with a probability of paternity exceeding 99.99% when the alleged father is included, and 100% exclusion when not.
Our laboratory in Faridabad, Haryana, is ISO 9001 certified, ensuring stringent quality control and reliable outcomes. Whether you need a legal test for court proceedings or a peace-of-mind test for personal clarity, we offer tailored solutions to meet your needs.
Types of Paternity Tests Offered
We provide two primary categories of paternity testing:
- Legal Paternity Test: This test follows a strict chain of custody, making it admissible in court for child custody, child support, inheritance, and immigration cases. Samples are collected by an authorized third-party collector with proper identification and documentation.
- Peace of Mind Paternity Test: This test is for personal knowledge only and does not require chain of custody. You can collect samples at home using our self-collection kit and mail them to our lab.
Both tests use the same rigorous laboratory analysis and yield equally accurate results. The only difference lies in the documentation and sample collection process.
How the Test Works
- Sample Collection: Buccal swabs (painless) are the most common method, but blood, hair, nails, or other samples can also be used. For legal tests, collection is performed by a neutral third party.
- DNA Extraction: The laboratory isolates DNA from the collected cells.
- STR Analysis: We analyze 24 to 46 genetic markers (STR loci) to compare the child's profile with that of the alleged father. This exceeds the minimum standards recommended by international bodies.
- Statistical Calculation: The combined paternity index (CPI) is calculated to determine the probability of paternity.
- Report Generation: A clear, easy-to-understand report is issued, typically within 3–5 working days.
Sample Collection Options
We offer flexible sample collection to accommodate your comfort and convenience:
- Buccal Swab: Non-invasive, painless, and suitable for all ages (including infants).
- Blood Sample: Collected by a phlebotomist at our Faridabad center or a partner clinic.
- Hair/Nails: Acceptable for peace-of-mind tests; must include roots for hair samples.
- Home Self-Collection Kit: Our Swab Self Collection Kit allows you to collect samples at home and mail them to us.
Accuracy and Reliability
Our laboratory uses advanced 24-marker and 46-marker STR profiling, which far exceeds the 16-marker systems used in older tests. This ensures:
- Probability of paternity ≥99.99% when the alleged father is the biological father.
- 100% exclusion when the alleged father is not the biological father.
- Minimal risk of inconclusive results due to rare genetic mutations.
All tests are performed in duplicate for quality assurance, and results are reviewed by a qualified molecular geneticist.
