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.

Establishing paternity in Manchester, CT

Unmarried parents from Manchester, Connecticut, have two main ways to establish paternity:

looks_one
Signing an Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP). This is often the chosen path for parents who are in agreement about the father's identity. They can sign the AOP at the hospital right after the baby is born or later at a local Department of Social Services (DSS) office. Once signed and sent to the Department of Public Health, paternity is officially recorded in the Paternity Registry. However, it is important that an AOP is not signed if either party disagrees with paternity. An AOP is a legal document that can be difficult to challenge later on.
