Paternity DNA testing is a definitive scientific method to establish biological relationships. Whether you need legal proof for court proceedings or personal peace of mind, DNA Labs India offers accurate, confidential, and ISO 9001 certified testing services in Pune, Maharashtra. Our laboratory uses advanced STR (Short Tandem Repeat) analysis with 24 to 46 genetic markers, ensuring results with 99.99% accuracy.
What is a Paternity DNA Test?
A paternity DNA test compares the genetic profile of a child with that of the alleged father to confirm or exclude a biological relationship. The test analyzes specific DNA markers inherited from both parents. If the alleged father is the biological father, the child will share at least one allele at every marker with him. If not, mismatches will appear, leading to exclusion.
Types of Paternity DNA Tests
We offer two primary types of paternity testing:
- Legal Paternity Test: This test follows a strict chain of custody, with identity verification and witnessed sample collection. Results are admissible in Indian courts for child custody, inheritance, and maintenance cases.
- Peace of Mind Paternity Test: This is a private test for personal knowledge. Samples can be collected at home using our self-collection kit, and no legal documentation is required.
How Does Paternity DNA Testing Work?
Our laboratory uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and capillary electrophoresis to analyze 24 to 46 STR markers. This modern approach provides a combined paternity index (CPI) of 10,000 or higher, ensuring conclusive results. We do not rely on outdated 16-marker systems, which offer lower discrimination power.
The process involves:
- Sample collection (buccal swab, blood, or nail/hair).
- DNA extraction and purification.
- PCR amplification of specific STR loci.
- Capillary electrophoresis and allele detection.
- Statistical analysis and report generation.
Sample Collection Methods
We offer flexible sample collection options to suit your needs:
- Buccal Swab: Painless and non-invasive; ideal for infants and children.
- Blood Sample: Collected by a trained phlebotomist; suitable for legal cases.
- Nail/Hair Sample: For discreet testing; requires specific handling to avoid contamination.
