| How much does it
cost? |
We test 19 areas of DNA (19 loci) for $185 (testing for father,
mother and child).
Prices for other paternity tests can be found from our paternity test page. |
| Are the kits
free? |
The Kit, as mentioned above is completely free, and mailed at no
obligation. The DNA analysis is not free. You pay for for the DNA
test when you send back the kit with your samples. |
| What samples do we
have to provide? |
We supply mouth swabs in the kit, which is a simple and painless,
(no blood!).
We also accept used toothbrushes, or Q-tips with ear wax when you
want to take discreet or secret DNA
tests. |
| Do we need the mothers
consent? |
No. We need the terms and conditions read and signed by one person
who is taking responsibility for the test.
Paternity tests can
be performed with samples from the Father and child only. |
| What is the
accuracy? |
We test to a minimum of 99.9% with our cheapest paternity test.
Other relationship tests (ie. brother to sister tests) can vary
between 99% to 99.9%.
Some laboratories only guarantee to test
to 99% although they state 'we commonly achieve 99.99%'.
Our
tests are guaranteed to achieve the highest accuracy to cost ratio
of any other laboratory. |
| How long is the
testing time? |
Usually between 2 and 3 weeks. Times vary on our busy the
laboratory is. We do have express options available (refer to the sample
sheet included in the free kit) |
| Is it
confidential? |
All clients information and DNA test results are strictly
confidential.
Results will only be issued to the person who
signed the sample submission form.
We also request a
password from you (see sample sheet) for your added protection and
confidentiality. |
