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.

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 Glendale DNA testing technicians are trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for legal purposes.

DNA test reveals that a woman's colleague is her brother
Sandi Sandrick was adopted. She only found out about it when she was eleven, and her adoptive parents told her the mother's name was Anna. They also informed her that Anna was a distant relative of her adoptive father. Years went by, and even though she was curious, she did not ask any more questions. She did not want to hurt her adoptive parents' feelings.
In 2013, her adoptive mother died, followed by her dad three years later. Her birth mother called her, explaining she always wanted Sandi in her life but promised the adoptive parents that she would not get in touch while they were alive. Anna got pregnant when she was 20 with a guy named Gary, but she was still in love with her ex. She decided to give the baby up, and she lost touch with Gary. She also found out she had a half-sister, and eventually, they all met in 2017.
Sandi took a DNA test, and she found Gary. She also messaged him on Facebook, but he never replied, so she tried to forget about it. Later, a new nurse named Allen started to work at her job. Allen repeatedly stated that Sandi seemed familiar to him, and he wondered if he had somehow met her before. After a while, Sandi noticed he was on Gary's friend's list and asked him how he knew her biological father. At that moment, they realized they were siblings!
Allen and Gary were not close because Gary divorced his mom when he was three, but they were in each other's lives. Sandi met Gary through Allen, and slowly, they are getting to know each other more and more. But, for her, the most important thing is how close she is to her new brother!
