Discovering Paternity using Blood and Special DNA Samples

Our Forensic Paternity DNA Test is an informational test which uses special samples, most commonly blood samples, and determine the likelihood that a male is the biological father of a child. Our standard test includes testing for one potential father and one child. While the test can be done with only the father and child, we strongly recommend testing the mother to increase the accuracy.

When ordered we will send you a kit with instructions on how to gather and care for the forensic (special) DNA samples, oral swabs, and instructions on how to collect any additional DNA via the oral swabs (in cases where the blood or special sample is being tested against anothers’ DNA), and a prepaid envelope to return the samples to our lab.

Please note that Forensic Relationship Test cannot be done as a legal test due to chain of custody, if needed for a court case please consult an attorney.

1 Potential Father and 1 Child

WHAT KIND OF SAMPLES DO I NEED TO PROVIDE?

We primarily use simple oral buccal swabs (cheek cell collection) to collect samples for our quick easy home and legal DNA tests.

Validity Genetics can test from a variety of other types of samples. However, in these cases an extra fee may apply as well as a possible longer turnaround time for sample processing.

How fast can I get my results?

Validity Genetics offers a quick turnaround time of only two business days once received at the lab for all of our standard buccal swab DNA collection tests. We also have rush options available if needed (may not available on some special sample types such as Infidelity Testing).

How accurate are the tests?

Our procedures test for 22 genetic markers and the gender identification marker amelogenin. This ensures you receive 99.99% accurate test results.

A general principle for DNA testing is that the more genetic information available, the greater the precision of the test.

All of Validity Genetics' genetic testing services follow strict and validated procedures for processing samples to guarantee the utmost care of your samples.
