Types of DNA Tests at our Cary, North Carolina locations:

child.

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 people being tested. 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 registering online and shipping the specimens to us.
Legally Admissible DNA Tests vs. "Peace of Mind" At-Home Tests
A
Legal Paternity Test
is a court admissible DNA testing service. 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. In order for the results of a DNA test to
hold up in court, for child support, or to change the name on a birth
certificate, the test must be done at a clinic using strict chain of
custody procedures. Our Cary DNA testing technicians are
trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for
legal purposes.

Cary, North Carolina - DNA Testing
Establishing paternity in Cary, North Carolina
Establishing paternity has many benefits for a child, for example, a greater sense of identity, access to the medical history of both parents, and financial support. By establishing paternity, a child can have rights to all of this.
In North Carolina, parents can establish paternity via signing a voluntary acknowledgment or court order. The most convenient for parents is to voluntarily establish paternity at the hospital when the baby is born and file it with Vital Records.
However, sometimes there are doubts about who the biological father is. In this case, the alleged father may choose to take a DNA test. The DNA results can not only provide peace of mind but also show whether the alleged father is, in fact, the biological father. If either parent files a court order to establish paternity due to uncertainty, the judge will likely order a DNA test.
DNA test reunites sisters after 54 years
Carol's daughter took a DNA test and uncovered a big family secret. When she received the DNA results, Carol confronted her mother, who admitted that the man who raised her was not her biological father. After that, Carol discovered that she had relatives in Ireland.
After she matched with her uncle, she wrote to him, exchanging a few messages. Soon after, she found out she had two half-brothers and one half-sister. Unfortunately, her biological father has already passed away. However, Carol met with her sister in North Carolina and soon traveled to Ireland to meet the rest of the family, and they organized a nice family reunion.
Carol said she immediately fell in love with Dublin and the time with her new-found family was terrific. They are already planning their next trips in the future.
