What is a Paternity DNA Test?
A paternity DNA test determines the biological father of a child by comparing specific genetic markers (short tandem repeats, or STRs) between the alleged father and child. The test analyzes 24 or 46 markers to establish a statistical probability of paternity. With modern molecular techniques, results are either 0% (exclusion) or 99.99%+ (inclusion).

Types of Paternity Tests Offered
DNA Labs India provides several paternity testing options to suit different needs. Below is the complete pricing structure:
Test Procedure and Sample Collection
Sample collection is simple and painless. For standard paternity tests, buccal swabs are used—a sterile cotton swab is rubbed gently inside the cheek to collect epithelial cells. Alternatively, blood samples can be drawn at our Vadodara center. For non-invasive options, self-collection kits allow you to collect samples at home and mail them to our lab. All samples are processed using validated STR analysis protocols.
Understanding Your Results
Results are reported as a probability of paternity. If the alleged father is excluded, the probability is 0%. If not excluded, the probability is 99.99% or higher. For legal cases, a chain-of-custody document accompanies the report to ensure admissibility in court. Our genetic counselors are available to explain the results in detail.
