You can always be confident that the results we provide you from our many DNA test options, are correct and reliable. Our partner laboratory runs every paternity DNA sample twice to make certain you are provided with 100% accurate results. Once all of your DNA samples arrive in our lab, their arrival is recorded, and your are notified testing has begun. The lab technicians immediately divide the swabs into two different groups. Independent teams then get right to work performing two separate DNA tests.
