DNA Paternity & Forensic Testing Services

DNA Paternity Testing services:

We perform paternity testing services that are acceptable in any court in the United States.  Per NYS regulations, we utilize the services of a laboratory that is accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). 
We offer fast turnaround of all specimens collected
and competitive pricing.  Testing sites are available virtually anywhere in the United States.  Testing and results are confidential and secure. 

Please note:  All paternity test specimens are collected using a documented chain of custody form -
no self-collections are allowed per NYS regulations.

Non-paternity (exclusions) are 100% assured when the alleged father's DNA is not shared with the child.  Inclusions result in a probability of paternity greater than 99%.
