Paternity Test

Uncertainty about parentage can have life-long psychological consequences. DNA paternity testing is the most advanced and accurate method available for resolving these parentage questions. DNA Testing Centres of Canada can perform both Legal (court approved) and Non-legal tests. With advanced DNA technology, paternity testing is accurate, rapid and an affordable means for obtaining conclusive answers with respect to parentage. During a paternity test, a buccal swab specimen is collected from the child and the alleged father (mother is optional, but not required for conclusive results). The sample that is collected is comprised of cells containing the donors unique DNA. Since a child’s genetic profile is inherited from his/her biological parents, examination of the child’s DNA when compared to that of the potential father’s DNA will conclusively determine its biological parentage.

How Accurate is the Test?

Results are typically over 99.99% accurate for inclusion and 100% accurate for exclusion of a potential father. A 15 genetic marker analysis is used at DNA Testing Centres of Canada. Note: We accept alternative DNA samples: mucous, cotton swabs, gum, condoms, toothbrushes, bandages, etc.
