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 potential 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 potential father’s sample simply involves using a mouth swab to collect DNA from his cheek cells.

How does prenatal paternity testing in Chicago work?

Once you have ordered your prenatal paternity test, your test kit will be sent directly to the address you provided in discreet, plain packaging, for full confidentiality.

Your test kit will contain cheek swabs for mom and the potential father(s).

Mom will also need to have a blood sample collected by a trained medical professional, such as a nurse or phlebotomist. We provide two options for blood sample collection:

• Organize your own sample collection OR
• Book an AlphaBiolabs sample collection with one of our professional sample collectors (+$99)

If you choose to organize your own sample collection, mom will need to arrange to have a blood sample taken via her OB-GYN, primary care physician, or other medical professional.

If you choose an AlphaBiolabs sample collection, your test kit will include details of how to book your sample collection appointment.

Please note: mom and the potential father’s samples do not need to be collected at the same location, but we strongly recommend that all samples be collected at approximately the same time.

This is to avoid any delays and the risk of mom’s blood sample degrading.

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.
