Precision Diagnostics is a paternity testing company that offers accurate and confidential DNA testing services.
Precision Diagnostics offers various types of paternity tests including prenatal paternity testing, legal paternity testing, grandparent, siblings, aunt and uncle, twins, maternity, disaster victim identification, personal DNA profile, and infidelity testing.
Yes. Precision Diagnostics offers a prenatal paternity test with no risk to the baby. It involves a simple blood draw from both the mother and a buccal swab from the alleged father/fathers.
A non-invasive prenatal paternity DNA test is a simple blood draw from the mother's arm to extract the fetal DNA and a buccal mouth swab from the alleged father(s) to analyze for paternity. There is little to no risk to the unborn fetus. Unlike a invasive amniocentesis prenatal paternity that requires amnio fluid to be extracted from the mother's belly with greater risk to the unborn fetus.
The turnaround time for the results varies depending on the type of test you choose. For example, home paternity test results are available within 2-3 business days, while legal paternity test results may take up to 5 business days. (Additional fee 24 Hour results)
Yes. Your results will be held in strictest confidence and made accessible only to you.
Yes. You may pay a portion of the test at the time of your order/specimen collection, then pay the remaining balance when you pick up your test results. (Deposits are Non-refundable)
Court-Admissible (Legal) test results are required for clients who need to establish biological relatedness for child support, child custody, birth certificates, probate, or other legal purposes.
Court-Admissible relationship tests requires that all tested parties have their DNA samples collected by an unrelated third party with no interest in the testing outcome. Court-Admissible tests also require strict chain-of-custody be maintained throughout the sample collection and testing process.
Peace of Mind tests do not require impartial, unrelated sample collectors or strict chain-of-custody. Sample collections for informational tests can be performed in the comfort of your own home. If your testing needs are for personal knowledge and isn’t needed for any legal purpose, then an informational test is right for you. *We highly recommend a Legal test to prevent our clients from spending additional money if it is required at some point down the road.
Depending on the type of specimen available, or members of the family within the paternal line that are willing to participate in a DNA test. If an autopsy was performed at the time of the alleged father’s death, the medical examiner may have a blood stain card, which would contain his DNA. The family member with power of attorney would need to request that the blood stain card be released to the laboratory for testing. In cases where there are no direct specimens available for the alleged father, other types of family relationship DNA tests may provide the information needed to establish paternity, especially when you need to seek social security or other benefits, or for inheritance purposes. The rule of thumb is the closer the family members are to the alleged father within the family tree, and/or the more paternal family members that participate, the stronger the probability of relationship, which is critical when seeking legal admissibility and acceptance for these reasons. Ask your one of our DNA Technicians about grandpaternity testing and other possible DNA tests.
Any participant in a DNA test, or legal guardian of a participant have rights to a copy of the test results unless they relinquish those rights and it’s documented on the chain-of-custody form at the time of collection, and all parties acknowledge and sign that they agree.
No. In order for a paternity test to be accepted as legal evidence, the alleged father will need to provide formal identification and complete his portion of the required chain-of-custody documentation.
Paternity and DNA tests are 99.9 % accurate. The results of paternity tests are statistical calculations, and will be reflected as a probability of paternity, or a probability of relatedness, depending on the type of family relationship you are trying to establish. Our DNA testing partner is accredited by the most recognized and accepted governing agencies, so you can trust the quality of your test results. Precision Diagnostics is backed by an ANAB accredited lab, and has performed over 20 million paternity test across the U.S.
No, we do not offer people locator services. However, we can direct you to some of the local private investigators we work with if you wish to try and find him. Ask your local store’s medical assistant for a referral.
Yes, as long as the specimen collections occur reasonably close in days to each other.
No, mother’s participation is not required, but is encouraged. Since one half of the child’s DNA is contributed by the mother, the laboratory can compare her DNA to the child’s to determine her genetic contribution. The DNA remaining must then match the alleged father to be included as the father. Also, the probability of paternity is statistically higher when the mother participates in the test since the scientists will have known parental information available. A high probability of paternity can still be obtained without the mother’s DNA though.
An Informational Paternity Test is purely for information only. No identification is required to perform the test; therefore, the test results will not contain the names of the tested parties and the results cannot be used for other purposes, as defined under the Legally-Admissible Paternity Test, below.
Yes. Other biological specimens can be used, such as blood, hair follicles (not cut hair), seminal or vaginal fluids, skin, bones and teeth, among others. In situations where DNA testing must be discreet, check with our DNA Technician for other options. We can generally accept other items and materials suspected of containing DNA, though we cannot guarantee the DNA’s viability or presence due to possible contamination, age, improper storage or other factors.
Additional family members can be included in the tests. Additional charges apply.
