A sample from the inside of the cheek is reliable and painless. This can be obtained by scraping the inner cheek with the mouth swabs included in the kit. But you can also send unusual samples as hair with the roots, used toothbrushes, dried blood, stains on undergarments, etc. If you have any questions about whether your sample is acceptable for laboratory analysis, then please contact us.

We do not use blood samples in tubes or urine cups since the shipment of these samples is much more difficult and they expire much faster than a mouth sample. Mouth samples can last for long, and has no "expiration date", although we recommend that you send us the sample just after getting it.

We need a person to be responsible for reading, accepting and signing the form, terms and conditions. So the signature of a responsible person is necessary. But there is no permission from anyone needed since the tests are for peace of mind only.

If you can't get the sample from the mother it can be done with the samples from the father and child in most cases. If there are doubts about the parents being relatives we recommend you include a sample from the mother. Her sample can be used to exclude possible matches.

In cases in which it is not possible to obtain the sample of the alleged father DNA Solutions can analyze the paternal relatives. If you have this type of case, please contact us through chat, e-mail or telephone, and one of our DNA specialists can advise on the different types of tests.

Prices depend on the test you want done. Our prices are cheaper for a quality test, as we process all the evidence in our own facilities. For more information visit our page on the proof of paternity or parentage.

A "loci" means a region within DNA. These regions of the DNA chain are different among individuals, and these variations are called alleles. When analyzing more regions of DNA we achieve more accurate result, because there is more data to compare each sample.

The 16 loci test is the industry standard, we tests the international CODIS plus two more alleles with an accuracy to 99.9% and for most people this will be sufficient.

For some, the18 loci test is more attractive because it increases accuracy and it guarantees accuracy of 99.99%

The 23 loci test is recommended in areas where there is an unusual relationship between parents. This test helps determine fatherhood even if the alleged parents are cousins, siblings or related.

Our most accessible paternity test has at least 99.9% accuracy.
Our tests achieve the highest accuracy with the lowest price.

Most of the operations and products do not affect the genetics but there are treatments such as cancer, bone marrow transplantation or chemotherapy that can change the genetic information. If you have any of these experiences, please contact one of our event specialists to advise him.
