The fee for a paternity test is the same with or without the mother. Since the DNA is the same in every cell of the body, the accuracy of testing performed on cheek cells collected with a swab is the same as using the blood. The phlebotomist collects the sample by using a buccal swab and gently massaging the inside of the child's mouth. DNA can be extracted from this sample. This procedure is non-invasive and painless for the child.
Buccal swab is also available for adults as an option to blood collection.
That is not a problem. We have an extensive network of local specimen collection facilities across the country. Our scheduling department will coordinate appointments for the clients at local hospitals or laboratories. The samples will be coordinated as a single paternity testing case when they arrive at our laboratory. Although we frequently confer and collaborate with attorneys and doctors and many of our cases do involve them, they are not required for you to have the paternity test.
