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.
