Questions & Answers/ FAQs
What kind of samples does the lab need?
Most biological samples are acceptable. We can use a buccal swab (mouth swab), a tube of blood, or drops of blood on a blood spot card,
hair follicles with root. However, we prefer to use the buccal swab sample
since it is easy to obtain, completely non-invasive and painless.

Are buccal swabs as accurate as blood?
Yes. Since people have the same DNA in every cell in their body,
all sample types give the same results. No sample is "more accurate"
than another.
An alternative to testing blood is a method of sample collection using buccal (cheek) swabs. Since the DNA is the same in every cell of the body, the accuracy of testing performed on cheek cells collected with a swab is the same as using blood. The phlebotomist collects the sample by using a buccal swab and gently massaging the inside of the child's mouth. DNA can be extracted from this sample. This procedure is non-invasive and painless. It is possible to draw blood from the adult(s)and swab the child. Buccal swabs are also available for adults as an alternative to blood collection.

Can paternity testing be performed before
the child is born?
YES. With DNA analysis, paternity testing can be performed prior
to the birth of the child. DNA testing can be done with a Chorionic Villni
Sample (CVS), which is generally performed around 10-13 weeks of pregnancy,
or through Amniocentesis, generally performed 14 -24 weeks of pregnancy.
Either of these procedures would have to be performed by an OB/GYN. If
the mother does not have an OB/GYN, we can assist her in locating a physician.
The testing is completed and results are air expressed within 2 weeks.
Any woman interested in prenatal DNA testing should discuss these procedures
with an OB/GYN. If the mother has more specific questions, please call
us. We have experienced prenatal specialist on staff to answer your questions.

How powerful are Paternity Testers DNA paternity test results?
DNA testing is one of the most discriminating methods of identification
currently available. Our tests typically provide a minimum 99.99% percent
probability of paternity (inclusion). If the alleged father's DNA and
the child's DNA do not match, the tested father is excluded 100 percent
as being the biological father. Paternity Testers performs confirmation
of exclusions by retesting the alleged father.

between the Legal and Home tests, is the Chain of Custody.
Chain Of Custody
Results from home DNA tests are normally not admissible in a court of
law due to the lack of the "Chain of Custody". The Chain of
Custody refers to the various chain of "hands" that the individual
sample passes through. A legal Chain of Custody requires the samples to
be collected in the presence of a third neutral party at a lab or hospital
facility where all parties are photographed to verify their identity.

confidential. Results are only released to the authorized parties involved.

Can testing be done if the mother, alleged father, or both are missing
or deceased?
Yes. With DNA analysis, paternity testing can still be performed, although
the test would involve more analysis. If the mother and/or alleged father
are deceased, samples can be collected and testing can be performed after
their deaths. In cases where one or both parents are unavailable, testing
involving grandparents is possible. Samples are collected from the alleged
paternal grandparents, and analysis is performed to determine if they
are excluded from grandparentage. If not, the chance the alleged grandparents
transmitted the genes to their son is calculated and used to determine
the probability of paternity. If the alleged paternal grandparents are
unavailable, testing can be performed on the alleged father's siblings
or other offspring, although the evidence supporting the probability of
paternity is not as strong.

Can testing be done with just the alleged father and child?
Yes, but only if the mother is unavailable for testing. If the child
is a minor, we will need a copy of the birth certificate and/or custody
papers for the child stating that the alleged father or guardian has the
legal right to bring the child in for a paternity test. No documentation
however is required to Order a Home DNA.
