How the Paternity DNA Test Works
- Sample Collection: Buccal swabs are collected from the alleged father, child, and optionally the mother. For legal tests, identity verification and chain-of-custody forms are completed.
- DNA Extraction: In our ISO 9001 certified laboratory, DNA is extracted from the cells.
- STR Analysis: We analyze 24 or 46 specific genetic markers using PCR amplification and capillary electrophoresis.
- Comparison & Report: The child's markers are compared to the alleged father's. A report is generated with a probability of paternity (≥99.99% for inclusion) and a clear conclusion.
Accuracy and Reliability
Our paternity tests are highly accurate. With 24-marker STR profiling, the probability of paternity is 99.99% when the alleged father is included. If excluded, the result is 100% exclusion. We follow strict quality controls and use validated protocols to ensure error-free results.
Legal Acceptance and Chain of Custody
For legal purposes, our legal paternity test adheres to the chain-of-custody requirement. This means:
- All parties must provide valid identification.
- Sample collection is witnessed and documented.
- Samples are sealed and transported securely.
- Results are accompanied by a legal affidavit.
This ensures the test results are admissible in Indian courts.
