DNA TESTING PROCESS

In order to perform the test we have all parties provide government-issued photo identification (such as a Driver’s License). The Collector will complete a Chain of Custody form, collect the DNA samples by oral swabs and take a photograph of all tested parties. The legal guardian or parent must be available to sign for any test participants who are minors. If the mother is a minor, she may sign for her baby but must have a legal guardian or parent to sign for her if she is to be tested.

We offer mobile DNA AND PATERNITY TEST

NOTE: We will perform testing after the first half of testing fees have been received.

Oral swab colletion

Samples for a DNA test, such as a paternity test, are routinely collected using the painless and simple buccal swab—similar to a cotton-tipped swab, but made of the special material Dacron®. The swab is rubbed against the inside cheek of the test participant, and loose cheek cells adhere to the swab. Unlike regular cotton swabs, Dacron® provides a consistent surface for sample collection and DNA extraction.
