The AlphaBiolabs Grandparent DNA Test will confirm whether or not there is a biological relationship between a grandchild and their potential grandparent. Results are provided in just 3 business days.
We will NEVER share your DNA results or data with any third party organizations or DNA matching services.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to New York State Department of Health regulations, we cannot offer any DNA tests to New York State residents.
From just $149, including your test kit and all lab fees, our Grandparent DNA Test can establish a biological connection between an individual and one or both possible grandparents, with results in just 3 business days.
This test is often used when a child’s possible father is not available for paternity testing, or when the child’s grandparents are concerned about their true relationship to their possible grandchild.
In a grandparent test, a DNA profile for each individual taking part in the test is produced. Since a child inherits half of their genetic profile from each biological parent, when one or more of a child’s parents is unavailable for testing, we can look to the grandparents to determine if they contributed DNA to the child’s genetic profile.
People who are related usually share more genetic markers than people who are unrelated and an inconclusive DNA grandparent test result could be due to a low number of matching DNA markers between the tested individuals. Alternatively, the DNA markers that are shared between the tested parties could be extremely common within the relevant population.
AlphaBiolabs utilizes cutting-edge DNA technology to perform grandparent testing. We can analyze up to 45 DNA markers for a fast, reliable result.
What will the test cost?
You can order our Grandparent DNA Test online now from just $149. The cost of the test includes your test kit and all lab fees.
The test includes enough cheek swabs to test one child and one potential grandparent, and will be sent out in discreet, plain packaging, for complete confidentiality.Â
If you would like to test more than one child and/or more than one potential grandparent, you can select this option when placing your order (additional charges apply).
What is the difference between the standard and the enhanced test?
Our standard grandparent test is already industry-leading, as it analyzes 25 DNA markers (the industry standard only analyzes 16-21 markers).
What makes AlphaBiolabs unique is that we can also analyze up to 45 DNA markers. This allows more genetic material to be analyzed, which strengthens the result and provides additional reassurance.
This is ideal for customers who want the most powerful DNA test available.
It is also particularly useful in tests of a more complex nature, such as a grandparent test, where the chance of obtaining a conclusive result will always be lower than the more straightforward paternity or maternity tests. This is because the DNA hasn’t been directly inherited. The enhanced test will increase the chance of obtaining a conclusive result.

Our test results are accurate, but you may not get a conclusive result
AlphaBiolabs' Grandparent DNA Test is extremely accurate. However, due to the nature of grandparent DNA testing, you may not get a conclusive result.
Grandparent DNA testing can be up to 40% inconclusive. We have worked hard to reduce that rate to just 28% for an AlphaBiolabs Grandparent DNA Test. This means that one in four people will not get a decisive answer.
Can kits be sent to two addresses?
Yes, AlphaBiolabs can mail your Grandparents DNA Test kits to two different addresses.
You will find the option to list a 2nd address when you check out.
Both test kits will be sent out in plain packaging, for full confidentiality.Â
What is peace of mind testing?
At AlphaBiolabs, we offer peace of mind testing with all our DNA testing kits.
As the name suggests, a peace of mind DNA test is for personal use only. Â
The results of these tests can give you the answers you need, but they cannot be used for legal purposes or in court proceedings.
Peace of mind tests also allow you to collect your samples quickly and easily at home, without the need to use a more costly and time-consuming third-party to verify the DNA sample collection.
What is the difference between a peace of mind DNA test and a legal DNA test?
The results of our peace of mind DNA tests and our legal DNA tests are 100% accurate and reliable based on the samples we receive into the laboratory, and analysis is performed in the same way for both types of tests.
The fundamental difference between the two is the way in which samples are collected, and the procedures that must be followed during sample collection for DNA test results to be admissible in court/for legal matters.
Peace of mind DNA testing is designed for personal use, providing accurate and reliable information about biological relationships. The results can help you find answers to your questions, but they cannot be used as evidence in court or for other legal matters. You can also collect your own DNA samples at home for peace of mind testing, with our easy-to-use at-home testing kits.
Legal DNA testing is specifically designed for use in court or official proceedings. These tests require samples to be collected by an authorized professional under strict chain-of-custody procedures to ensure the integrity of the process. The results of legal DNA tests are legally admissible and supported by detailed reports prepared in compliance with legal standards.
Legal DNA tests are commonly used for a variety of reasons including establishing parentage in child custody, visitation, or child support disputes, for birth certificate changes, for inheritance and estate settlements, and more.
