At Home Paternity Testing

$0.00

A direct-to-consumer kit that uses painless cheek (buccal) swabs to compare a child’s genetic markers against a potential father's for private, personal knowledge. This test can be performed right in the comfort of your own home.

How It Works

  • Collection: Both the child and the alleged father rub sterile cheek swabs inside their mouths for 20 to 30 seconds.

  • You should avoid eating, drinking, smoking, or brushing your teeth for at least an hour before swabbing to prevent sample contamination. [1]

  • The dried swabs are sealed in provided envelopes and shipped back to an accredited laboratory.

  • The lab extracts DNA and analyzes 16 to 34 short tandem repeat (STR) genetic markers to look for matching inheritance patterns.
