Home Test Kit:
Paternity Testing used to be complicated for two reasons: Making the decision and doing the test itself.
The home kit simplifies the actual “doing” of the test to make it as convenient as possible
If you have any questions regarding your personal situation, please feel free to contact our friendly office.
Reliable results guaranteed:
Highest accuracy available in Australia. We are testing 24 regions of your DNA (compared to the standard of 16).
Quick peace of mind:
Results in 3 days as a standard.
Fastest express option of 2 days available.
Based in Australia and your samples therefore are not shipped overseas (unlike many other DNA testing websites).
The primary purpose of this kit is to provide personal insights, if you need the results to be admissible in court (for example to change a birth certificate or for immigration), please refer to our legal test page.
For paternity testing, we typically get an accuracy above 99.99%.
Other relationship tests (ie. brother to sister tests) can vary between 99% to 99.9%.
The actual accuracy number depends on what type of DNA you have and how rare each point of DNA we test is in the whole population.
More DNA types shared by all tested individuals increase the likelihood they are related.
At DNA Solutions we test 24 regions of DNA in each person. (Industry standard is 16)
This enables us to prove paternity with over 99.99% accuracy.
If the regions don’t match, tested individuals are 100% not related.
No.
We need the terms and conditions read and signed by one person who is taking responsibility for the test.
Paternity tests can be performed with samples from the Father and child only.
All clients information and DNA test results are strictly confidential.
Results will only be issued to the person who signed the sample submission form.
We also request a password from you for your added protection and confidentiality.
We can work with a variety of biological samples.
However, for paternity testing we recommend a mouth swab, as this is completely reliable and painless. Hair samples are also common but can be more difficult to take.
Children with fine hair, and elderly with grey hair, usually do not provide good hair specimens.
You will receive the results via your preferred way of communication.
Attached to the the DNA Home Kit there are forms for you to fill out for us to know.
Most people choose to get notified either via mail or a phone call about the result of their paternity test.
Our DNA Tests are done within 3 business days, with the option of express results in 2 business days.
Some non-standard DNA tests may take a little longer. In essence times vary depending on how busy the laboratory is.
