Helping you achieve peace of mind

Confirm Paternity Using Discreet or Non-Standard DNA Samples

When traditional cheek swab samples aren't an option, our Forensic Paternity DNA Test provides a reliable solution. Whether you're testing items like hair, toothbrushes, or clothing, we offer accurate and confidential results to determine biological relationships.

What Is a Forensic Paternity DNA Test?

A Forensic Paternity DNA Test is designed to establish a biological father-child relationship using non-standard or discreet samples. This test is ideal when:

  • The alleged father is unavailable or deceased.

  • Only personal items (e.g., toothbrush, hairbrush, clothing) are accessible.

  • Discreet testing is required due to sensitive circumstances.

Our laboratory can extract DNA from various items and compare it to a known sample to determine paternity.

Common Scenarios for Forensic Paternity Testing

  • Postmortem Testing: Establishing paternity when the alleged father has passed away.

  • Discreet Testing: Confirming paternity without alerting the individual being tested.

  • Legal and Inheritance Matters: Providing evidence for custody, inheritance, or other legal proceedings.

Common types of forensic samples.
