Types of DNA Tests at our Worth, Illinois clinics:
Paternity Testing
can conclusively establish whether or not a man is the biological father of a child.
Relationship testing for other close family relationships can be performed at our testing centers:
The type of DNA test you order depends on your needs. For example:
arrow_right_altA Grandparent DNA Test is used when the father is not available for testing.
arrow_right_altA sibling DNA test confirms relationships between possible brothers, sisters, or half-siblings.
arrow_right_altAvuncular DNA tests confirm relationships between aunts and uncles and nieces and nephews.
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 Worth DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.
