Prenatal paternity testing in Chicago

Prenatal paternity testing is a safe way to determine the biological father of a baby before it is born. This innovative technique can be performed as early as 9 weeks since the last period (or 7 weeks after conception). And AlphaBiolabs can perform this non-invasive prenatal paternity test in Chicago.

Prenatal paternity testing works by analyzing three DNA samples: the mother’s DNA, the baby’s DNA that is found within the mother’s bloodstream, and the alleged father’s DNA.

Previously, to get a sample of an unborn baby’s DNA, invasive procedures such as amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling would have been used. Both of these invasive methods incur a slight risk of miscarriage. AlphaBiolabs’ prenatal DNA test does not carry such risks and there is no harm to the unborn child. The mother needs to provide a blood sample (usually drawn from her arm) and the alleged father’s sample simply involves using a mouth swab to collect DNA from his cheek cells.

How does prenatal paternity testing in Chicago work?

A testing kit can be mailed out to an address of your choice. The mother needs to arrange her own blood sample collection from a medical professional, such as a phlebotomist or nurse. The mouth swab from the alleged father should be collected around the same time to avoid any delays and the risk of the blood sample hemolyzing.

Once your samples are received at our laboratory, the testing process can begin.

Because a baby inherits DNA from both of its parents, the prenatal paternity test analyzes the three DNA samples to identify which half of the DNA is inherited from the mother and which half is from the father. If the man is indeed the biological father, both baby and father will share DNA.
