Paternity Testing Made Easy at Absolute DNA
At Absolute DNA, paternity testing is a simple, straightforward process that offers reliable answers in a short time. Whether you’re looking for peace of mind or need results for legal reasons, Absolute DNA provides a secure and accurate method to determine the biological relationship between a father and child.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how the process works:
1. Ordering Your Test
The first step is to order your paternity test kit from Absolute DNA. You can easily do this online, and the kit will be delivered to your home in discreet packaging. Depending on your needs, you can choose between two options:
- Peace of Mind Testing: This test is designed for personal information, offering quick and reliable results to clarify paternity concerns.
- Legal Paternity Testing: This option is for situations where the results will be used in court or for official purposes, such as child support, custody cases, or immigration.
2. Sample Collection
After receiving your kit, sample collection is the next step. Absolute DNA uses a simple and non-invasive method called a buccal swab, which involves rubbing a soft cotton swab on the inside of the cheek to collect cells from the mouth. Each participant (the child, alleged father, and sometimes the mother) will have their cheek swabbed, and the samples are then sealed and sent back to Absolute DNA’s lab in pre-labelled packaging.
3. DNA Analysis in the Lab
Once the samples arrive at the lab, the DNA analysis begins. The lab technicians extract DNA from the cheek cells and focus on specific areas of the genetic code called Short Tandem Repeats (STRs). These areas are highly individualised, allowing the lab to compare the genetic markers of the child and the alleged father. The test typically examines 21 genetic markers for a clear and accurate result.
4. Results
The lab then compares the DNA profiles. If the markers between the child and the alleged father match, there’s a very high probability of paternity. On the other hand, if there is no match between the profiles, paternity is excluded with 100% certainty.
5. Receiving Your Results
Once the testing is complete, you’ll receive your results within 3 to 5 business days for peace of mind tests and 7 to 10 business days for legal testing. Absolute DNA ensures the entire process is private and secure. Results can be delivered via email or posted to you, depending on your preference.
