DNA Testing During Pregnancy
DNA testing can be performed during pregnancy. Below is a brief description of how the process works:
What Is an Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test?
An invasive prenatal paternity test requires the involvement of an OB-GYN. This type of paternity test cannot be performed independently, unlike a non-invasive prenatal paternity (NIPP) test. An OB-GYN must conduct chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis for an invasive DNA test to occur. Keep in mind that invasive prenatal testing carries risks to the fetus. Therefore, independent paternity testing cannot be performed. Currently, we do not offer NIPP testing services.
Legal DNA Paternity Test
Legal Paternity Test: This testing option is a legal test. A legal chain of custody must be established. An unbiased third-party collector must collect samples. All DNA samples are tested and analyzed by our partner AABB-accredited lab. This accreditation ensures your samples are tested with the highest industry standards. The results you receive will be recognized in court and by all state agencies nationwide.
What Is a DNA Paternity Test?
Paternity testing is a scientific method of DNA analysis that applies the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to test genetic markers. This process determines the probability of paternity between an alleged father and child.
Where to Get a Paternity Test
Performing a DNA test, whether in-office or mobile, requires appointment coordination for both legal and non-legal sample collections.

Frequently Asked Questions for Parentage Testing
How Long Do DNA Test Results Take?
The turnaround time for results is 2 to 3 days from the date the laboratory receives all specimen samples. When results are complete, a copy will be mailed to your home, and a second copy will be emailed to you.
How Reliable Are DNA Paternity Tests?
The process of testing DNA samples performed by our partner AABB-accredited laboratory meets the highest industry standards. When properly conducted, paternity testing typically yields a probability of biological relationship of 99.99% or higher in confirmed cases. Test accuracy depends on sample quality and the number of genetic markers analyzed.
What Method Is Used to Collect My DNA Samples?
The DNA sample collection method for parentage testing uses a cheek swab. Blood draw collections are also viable but more invasive and painful while providing the same accuracy.
Can Hospitals Do Paternity Tests?
No, paternity testing is not a service typically provided by hospitals. DNA sample collection appointments can be performed at a hospital with the permission of the hospital staff once the child is born. Call 888-970-4211 to learn more about mobile collection coverage near your city today.
