The DNA paternity test is completely accurate. The result will either show that there is a 0% probability that the potential father is the biological parent (negative result) or that the potential father IS the biological parent of the tested child, typically with an accuracy of up to +99.99999% (positive result).
No, mum does not need to participate in a paternity test. If you want to see both sides of a child's DNA, you can do a family test where mum, dad and child participate, this would allow you to see both sides of the child's DNA from both parents.
Age has no influence, a newborn baby can be tested. DNA testing via mouth scraping is painless and not traumatic for a newborn baby. DNA testing can be done up until cremation or burial, if the person is no longer alive you can usually get the funeral director to help with the test.
Yes, we can. Just indicate this during the order process in the field "Write here if you have CO address, or Att: address". For your own safety, please remember that in certain situations it may be appropriate for people's samples to be collected at the same location.
This is usually not possible as we are a web shop, unless an agreement has been made. It is possible to drop off your DNA test at the collection address.

Answer. A legal DNA test and a self-collected DNA test are analysed according to the same standards. The difference between the two types of tests is that the legal DNA test requires the participation of a public figure. In this case, you could use your doctor or lawyer, who will then create a document for you that the test has been performed on the correct person.
Your results will be treated in strict confidence and only provided to the personal data registered with the order. For security reasons, the results will only be sent to the e-mail address specified when ordering. If you want the results to be delivered by other means, such as regular mail, you can specify this when ordering the test kit.
DNA Medical does not charge extra fees for any re-collection of new samples, as long as the samples are from our own sample material (the DNA kit sent), we always guarantee the production of a DNA profile, even if this means extra sample collection.
