Appointment times for the mother and alleged father are arranged separately unless both parties give written authorisation that they prefer to be scheduled together. Testing can only commence once Genetic Technologies has received all the samples.

In 1998 we extended our services to offer DNA testing for twins. This service allows you to determine if twins are identical or non identical.
Identical twins have exactly the same DNA, hence the same DNA bar-code pattern.
Non identical twins will have different barcode patterns. DNA is extracted from the cells lining the inside of the cheek. This gentle non-invasive procedure can be performed on children of any age, including newborns. The Genetic Technologies Twin Testing Collection Kit enables you to take your children's samples at your convenience and in the privacy of your own home. Once the samples have been collected, the completed kit is sent back to our laboratory.
