FAQ / Things to Know
Is Testing Legitimate And Can I Trust The Results?
Absolutely. We utilize AABB-accredited labs for our testing. These are reputable facilities that exclusively do this kind of testing and adhere to rigorous standards. As a company, we also prioritize ethical conduct and uphold honesty in all our dealings
What Is The Difference Between Legal and Peace-of-Mind Tests?
- Legal testing follows strict chain-of-custody procedures and documentation to ensure the results are legally admissible in court. For example, all donors must have a photo-ID or be photographed in-office, and this must be included with their samples.
- Peace-of-mind testing is typically done for personal knowledge or reassurance purposes and the documentation is less rigorous. This type of testing can be performed at home.
How Old Does The Child Need To Be For Testing?
- There’s no minimum age requirement for testing children. We’ve tested infants as young as a couple of days old, and they’re usually unaffected by the cheek swab. Your decision to bring the baby out in public for testing depends on your comfort level.
- For prenatal testing, the woman needs to be at least 8 weeks pregnant for best results. At this point, there is enough fetal DNA in her blood for the lab to work with.
How Quickly Are Results Available?
- Results for standard paternity or relationship tests are available in under a week, most commonly within 2-3 business days of collection.
- If there are any non-standard samples, results can take a few days longer.
- Results for prenatal testing can take between 1-3 weeks.
How Do I Get The Results?
- Results of peace-of-mind testing are sent via e-mail. This is collected at the time of testing. We also provide a courtesy call to let you know results have been sent.
- Results of legal tests are first delivered via e-mail. This is collected at the time of testing. We also provide a courtesy call to let you know results have been sent.
