The home DNA testing kits include full instructions on how to collect your DNA samples. No blood is required for any of these DNA tests apart from prenatal paternity (see below). All you need to do is rub the mouth swabs provided on the inside of your cheek. This is a very gentle and painless way to collect cells. These collected cheek cells are then returned to our lab using the already-addressed envelope.
When the samples are returned to the lab, a DNA profile is produced from each sample and we examine specific markers present in repeat sections of DNA. AlphaBiolabs is one of just a few labs accredited to test up to 42 DNA markers in standard tests; most relationship tests examine only 16. We also test all our exclusion results twice so you can be confident of getting accurate results.
We offer two types of paternity test in Jacksonville FL
Paternity tests identify which half of the child’s DNA is inherited from the father and which half is from the mother. If the father is the biological parent, he will share identical sections of DNA with the child at each marker. If a parent refuses to consent to a DNA test or is unavailable for testing, alternative DNA tests can be performed on other family members to establish a direct biological relationship, such as Grandparent DNA tests, aunt DNA tests or uncle DNA tests.
Prenatal paternity testing is an advanced technique that can be used to establish paternity before the baby is even born. The test can be performed from as early as 6 weeks after conception (or 8 weeks’ gestation). It is a non-invasive method that requires a blood sample from the mother and a mouth swab from the alleged father. This advanced procedure preserves and then analyzes the baby’s DNA that is found within the mother’s bloodstream. There is no risk to the mother or the unborn child when taking this test (unlike an invasive prenatal test in which embryonic fluid is taken directly from the womb using a needle). Prenatal paternity testing costs $975 for confidential results in 7–8 working days.
