A paternity test is a DNA test that determines whether a man could be the biological father of a child. We all inherit our DNA (the genetic material) from our biological parents. A paternity test compares a child's DNA pattern with that of the alleged father to check for evidence of this inheritance-the most definitive proof of a biological relationship.

The result of a paternity test is either an exclusion (the alleged father is not the biological father), or an inclusion (the alleged father is considered the biological father). For a standard paternity test, we guarantee at least 99.99% probability of paternity for inclusions or 100% certainty of exclusion.

Unlike in-home tests, where tested parties collect their own samples at their convenience, our paternity test uses the Chain of Custody to ensure that you receive accurate and legally admissible results (accepted by courts and other government agencies). In all of our DNA tests, we:

• Run each test twice, following the most stringent procedures to guarantee accurate and conclusive results.
• Complete testing in 5 working days or less.
• Follow a strict Chain of Custody to ensure results are legally admissible.
• Maintain confidentiality of each case using strict communication protocols.
