Paternity DNA Test by Blood/Swab, Father & Child (No Chain of Custody - Non-Legal)
Also Known As
* Private Paternity Test
* Peace of Mind Paternity Test
* Non-Legal Paternity Test
* Informational Paternity Test
* Biological Father Confirmation Test
* DNA Relationship Test (Father-Child)
* Genetic Paternity Testing
* Home Paternity Test (for sample collection convenience)
* Direct Paternity Test
* Parentage DNA Test
* 28-Marker Genetic Comparison * STR Analysis for Paternity
* Genetic Relationship Audit
* Paternity Probability Assay
* Non-Judicial DNA Test
* DNA Matching Test
* Genetic Alleged Father Screen
* Paternal Lineage Screen
* Biological Fatherhood Test
Test Parameters Included
- STR Locus Analysis (28+ Markers): The laboratory examines specific locations on the DNA called loci. At each locus, a child has two numbers (alleles). One of these numbers must match the biological father. Your report shows a detailed comparison across multiple markers such as TH01, D5S818, vWA, and TPOX.
- Paternal Obligate Allele: This identifies the specific genetic value the child must have inherited from their biological father.
- Amelogenin (AMEL): This is the sex-determining marker. It confirms the biological sex of the individuals tested (X for female, Y for male) to ensure sample integrity.
- Paternity Likelihood & Probability: A statistical calculation based on the frequency of these genetic markers in the specific population (e.g., South Asian).

Methodology
The Paternity DNA Test utilizes PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology to analyze 28 or more specific genetic markers (loci). PCR is a molecular biology technique that amplifies minute amounts of DNA, allowing for a robust and accurate analysis of highly polymorphic regions (short tandem repeats or STRs) within the human genome. By comparing the unique genetic profiles derived from the alleged father and child, a statistical probability of paternity can be determined. The analysis of a large number of markers (28+) significantly increases the accuracy and reliability of the test, establishing whether the alleged father is the biological father.
Sample Required
Preparation
* Documents Required:
* Father: Any valid ID Proof (e.g., Aadhaar card, Passport, Driving License).
* Child: Birth certificate or any valid ID Proof (e.g., Aadhaar card, School ID).
* Consent Forms: Both the major consent form (to be filled and signed by the alleged father) and the minor consent form (to be filled and signed by the legal guardian/alleged father on behalf of the child) must be completed prior to sample collection.
* Home Collection: If opting for free home sample collection, ensure a quiet and private environment for the phlebotomist to collect samples and complete necessary paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary purpose of this paternity DNA test?
This test is specifically for personal information and peace of mind, to confirm or exclude a biological father-child relationship. It is not for legal purposes.
What types of samples are accepted for this test?
We primarily accept blood samples (3 mL in special EDTA tubes) from the father and child. Cheek swabs are also an option. The mother's sample is optional but recommended.
Is the mother's sample required?
No, the mother's sample is optional for this test. However, including it can help achieve a more conclusive result, particularly in complex cases.
How accurate is this test?
This test is highly accurate, analyzing 28+ genetic markers using PCR technology. It provides a statistical probability of paternity (typically 99.99% or higher for inclusion, or 0% for exclusion).
What is the difference between this "Non-Legal" test and a "Legal" DNA test?
The "Non-Legal" test does not follow a strict chain of custody during sample collection (e.g., identity verification, witness presence), making its results inadmissible in court. A "Legal" test requires these stringent procedures for court admissibility.
Can this report be used for legal purposes like child support or immigration?
No, absolutely not. The report explicitly states that it is not intended for any legal, research, or other third-party use and is inadmissible as evidence in any legal proceeding worldwide.
Do I need to fast or prepare anything special before the sample collection?
No fasting or special preparation is required for blood samples. For cheek swabs, avoid eating, drinking, or smoking for 30 minutes prior.
What documents are needed for sample collection?
You will need ID proof for the father (e.g., Aadhaar card) and the child (e.g., Birth certificate/Aadhaar card). Major and minor consent forms must also be filled.
How long will it take to get the results?
Standard reports are available in 8-10 days. An expedited option is available for results in 3 days.
Is home sample collection available, and is there a charge?
Yes, free home sample collection is available as part of the test package.
