Types of Paternity Tests We Offer
We understand that every situation is unique. Our range of paternity tests is designed to meet different needs:
- Peace of Mind Paternity Test: For personal knowledge only. Samples are collected at home using our swab kit, and results are sent directly to you.
- Legal Paternity Test: Admissible in court. Requires chain-of-custody documentation and sample collection at our Varanasi center or by an authorized professional.
- Paternity Test for 1 Father & 2 Children: Ideal for cases involving multiple children.
- Paternity Test Using Nails/Hair: Non-invasive alternative when buccal swabs are not possible.
How Does the Paternity DNA Test Work?
Our laboratory uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and capillary electrophoresis to analyze short tandem repeats (STRs) at 24 or 46 genetic markers. This analysis compares the child's DNA profile with that of the alleged father. If the markers match, the probability of paternity is calculated. A 99.99% or higher probability confirms paternity, while a 0% probability excludes it.
Sample Collection Options
We offer flexible sample collection to suit your comfort and convenience:
- Buccal Swab (Preferred): Painless and non-invasive. A cotton swab is rubbed inside the cheek.
- Nail Clippings: Suitable for infants or when buccal swabs are not feasible.
- Hair Follicles: Requires 5-10 hair strands with roots intact.
- Blood Sample: Collected by a trained phlebotomist at our center.
For legal tests, identity verification and chain-of-custody are mandatory. For peace-of-mind tests, you can collect samples at home using our self-collection kit.
