DNA Paternity Testing Services
Prenatal
Prenatal testing is performed before the child is born.
Recent advances in paternity testing allow a prenatal test to be performed without endangering the life of the mother or the unborn child. A blood sample from the mother and a buccal (saliva) swab from the alleged father is all it takes. Testing can begin as early as 8 weeks after conception.
Prenatal testing is the best option for individuals and families who need results before the child is born and who may be using the results in legal proceedings.
