Why Choose DNA Labs India for Paternity Testing in Ludhiana?
DNA Labs India is an ISO 9001 certified laboratory offering precise and legally admissible paternity testing services in Ludhiana. Our state-of-the-art facility uses advanced STR (Short Tandem Repeat) analysis with 24–46 genetic markers, ensuring accuracy exceeding 99.99% for inclusions and 100% for exclusions.
We understand the emotional and legal significance of paternity tests. Our team ensures strict confidentiality, chain-of-custody documentation for legal cases, and convenient sample collection options—either at our Ludhiana center or via a home self-collection kit.
Types of Paternity DNA Tests Offered
We provide two primary categories of paternity testing:
- Legal Paternity Test: Court-admissible, requires chain-of-custody, and involves a neutral third-party sample collection. Ideal for child custody, inheritance, or visa cases.
- Peace of Mind Paternity Test: For personal knowledge only, with no legal validity. Samples can be collected discreetly at home using our self-collection kit.
Both tests analyze the same genetic markers, but the legal version includes additional documentation and verification steps.

How Paternity DNA Testing Works
- Sample Collection: Buccal swabs are painless and non-invasive. For legal tests, samples are collected at our Ludhiana center under strict chain-of-custody. For peace-of-mind tests, use our self-collection kit at home.
- Laboratory Analysis: DNA is extracted from the samples and analyzed using STR markers. We examine 24–46 loci to ensure statistical confidence.
- Result Calculation: The probability of paternity is calculated. A result of 99.99% or higher indicates inclusion; a result of 0% indicates exclusion.
- Report Delivery: Results are provided in a clear, confidential report. Legal reports include a notarized affidavit and are admissible in Indian courts.

How long does it take to get results?
Standard results are available within 3–5 business days. For nail/hair samples, it may take 5–7 days due to additional processing.
Is the test legally valid?
Yes, if you opt for the legal paternity test, the report is court-admissible and follows the chain-of-custody protocol.
