Legal Paternity Test
​A Legal Paternity Test is a DNA test used to determine the biological father of a child, and its results are admissible in a court of law. These tests follow strict chain-of-custody procedures to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the results.
The process involves collecting DNA samples from the child, the alleged father, and sometimes the mother, using cheek swabs. These samples are then analyzed in a certified laboratory, and the results are documented in a report that can be used in legal proceedings.
Non-Legal Paternity Test
​A non-legal paternity test, also known as a peace of mind test, is a DNA test used to determine the biological relationship between a child and a potential father for personal knowledge rather than legal purposes.
*THIS TEST CANNOT BE USED FOR LEGAL PURPOSES*
​
The process involves collecting DNA samples from the child, the alleged father, and sometimes the mother, using cheek swabs.
Grandparentage, Avuncular,
and Siblingship Test
Grandparentage testing is a type of DNA test used to establish a biological relationship between a child and one or both of their alleged biological grandparents. This test is typically used in situations where the alleged father is not available for paternity testing. ​DNA samples are collected from the child and one or both grandparents using cheek swabs.
Avuncular testing is a type of DNA testing used to determine the likelihood of a biological relationship between a child and an alleged aunt or uncle. This test is particularly useful in situations where the alleged father is unavailable for paternity testing. DNA samples are collected from the child and the alleged aunt or uncle using cheek swabs.
​
Siblingship testing is a type of DNA analysis used to determine the likelihood that two individuals are biologically related as siblings. This test can help establish various types of sibling relationships, including full siblings (sharing both biological parents), half-siblings (sharing one biological parent), or unrelated individuals. DNA samples are collected from the individuals being tested using cheek swabs.
​
Types of Siblingship Tests:
Full Siblingship Test: Determines if two individuals share both biological parents.
Half Siblingship Test: Determines if two individuals share one biological parent (either mother or father).

Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) Test
Prenatal Gender Reveal Test
Non-invasive prenatal paternity (NIPP) testing is a DNA test performed during pregnancy to determine the biological father of an unborn child. This test is called "non-invasive" because it involves a simple blood draw from the pregnant mother and a cheek swab from the alleged father(s), rather than more invasive procedures like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). This test can be performed as early as the 7th of pregnancy.
*We cannot perform NIPP testing in the following cases: twins or multiple fetuses, in vitro fertilization, egg donation, surrogacy, related alleged fathers (unless both are willing to be tested), or cases of incest*
​
​​Prenatal gender reveal is a test performed during pregnancy to determine the sex of the unborn baby. This information is often used for personal planning, celebrations, and gender reveal parties. The test is performed by taking a simple blood sample from the pregnant mother. This test can be performed as early as the 7th week of pregnancy.
