Paternity Tests
Paternity Tests can determine the paternity of a child using samples from the child and the alleged father. We offer 2 types of paternity tests: a home paternity and a home high accuracy paternity test done with Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology.
The difference between the tests is the testing method and the level of accuracy. Our home paternity test guarantees the industry standard accuracy of 99.99% or 0% POP (probability of paternity), and our high accuracy paternity test with NGS has results of 99.9999999999% or 0% POP.
For either test you can collect the samples in the privacy of your own home and send them back to our laboratory for testing.
Pricing and Processing Time
* Prices do not include tax
* Money-back Guarantee
* Test Time is counted in business days. Saturdays, Sundays and National holidays are not counted as business days
High Accuracy DNA testing with NGS is a viable option for samples damaged by chemical or UV exposure. It is also an effective method if a test participant has a genetic mutation. A High Accuracy DNA test will not have a different result if you have already received a standard paternity test result of over 99.9% POP, which is the accepted international standard.

Accuracy of Paternity Tests
Our accuracy is 35 times higher than the international standards set by the Federal Bureau of Investigation guidelines
99.9999% POP(Probability of Paternity): does not mean `99.9999% chance of a biological relationship.` It essentially represents a 100% probability, and signifies that the alleged father is the biological father of the child.
Theoretically, it is not possible to get a result of 100% POP. However, it is also not considered possible to disprove a test result of 99.99% POP.
