Specimens we can test for DNA

The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a DNA sample for paternity testing is to swab the inner cheeks of the alleged father and child or children. These skin cells are known as buccal cells, and they rub off easily onto cotton swabs and remain in place for analysis by our laboratory.

Other specimen samples, such as hair follicles, fingernails, and garments that might contain someone's DNA, can also be tested. An Alternative Specimen DNA Test is done by ordering one of our testing kits online and shipping the specimens back to us.

Legal DNA Tests vs. "Peace of Mind" At-Home Tests

A Legal Paternity Test is a court admissible lab testing service performed at an AABB accredited laboratory. Accurate results for DNA paternity testing with 99.99% confidence or greater take about a week.

When deciding which type of DNA test is right for you, consider first what you might do with the results. A legal paternity DNA test will hold up in court for such matters as child support or to change the name on a birth certificate. This test must be performed using strict chain of custody procedures. Our Bridgeport DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.

Local DNA Stories

In 2020, an adopted Saginaw County woman used DNA testing and discovered she has a sister who lived minutes away. Both sisters were born in Korea, adopted, and grew up in small, Mid-Michigan towns. Neither sister was trying to learn about their biological parents, but both wanted to learn about their family and health histories. The two sisters discovered each other through DNA testing and began communication on Facebook. The sisters have become close, have met each other's families, talk every day, and are making future plans for vacations together.

Experts Say...

Wilson Law Office, P.C., serving Bridgeport, MI, explained what it means to establish paternity. "Paternity is determining whether or not an individual is the biological father of a child. Michigan law provides the mother, putative father, or the State of Michigan standing to bring an action to establish paternity," the law firm explained. For a biological father to have custody or parenting time, paternity must be established. Mothers need to establish paternity if they're seeking child support. "In addition, an individual may need to establish paternity to avoid responsibility for a child that is not his," the law office stated.
