Introduction to Paternity DNA Testing
A paternity DNA test is a definitive method to establish biological relationships between a father and child. Using advanced STR (Short Tandem Repeat) profiling, DNA Labs India provides accurate and legally admissible results for residents of Mumbai and across Maharashtra. Our ISO 9001 certified laboratory ensures the highest standards of quality and confidentiality.
How Paternity Testing Works
We analyze 24 to 46 specific genetic markers (STRs) from the DNA samples. These markers are highly variable among individuals, making them ideal for determining biological relationships. The probability of paternity is calculated using statistical analysis, typically exceeding 99.99% when the alleged father is the biological father, and 100% exclusion when he is not.
Note: Our laboratory uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and capillary electrophoresis for STR analysis, ensuring high accuracy and reproducibility.
