What is a Paternity DNA Test?
A paternity DNA test compares the genetic profile of a child with that of the alleged father to determine biological relationship. The test analyzes specific short tandem repeat (STR) markers on DNA. Each person inherits one copy of each marker from their biological mother and one from their biological father. By comparing these markers, we can confirm or exclude paternity with near-certainty.
Our laboratory uses 24-marker and 46-marker STR profiling – far more comprehensive than older 16-marker tests – ensuring the highest statistical power and reliability. This advanced approach minimizes the chance of false results and meets international standards for legal admissibility.
Types of Paternity Tests Offered
We provide two main categories: Peace of Mind (non-legal) and Legal (court-admissible) tests. Both use the same rigorous laboratory process, but legal tests include a chain-of-custody protocol to ensure sample identity is verified.
