Legally Admissible vs. Home Test - Important Information

CONSUMERS PLEASE NOTE #1: 

Not all Home Paternity Tests are created equal.

Prices vary widely.  Regardless of whether you chose our Legally Admissible test or a home test.... once the specimen is submitted to our lab, the testing is performed in the same manner.  Other labs may skimp on their Home Test.  Read their fine print!

Our tests are 100 times more discriminating than the industry standard. Typical positive results exceed 99.99%.  We will complete up to  19 markers  to assure you reliable results.  Most labs run only one with less than 10 markers, greatly increasing the chance for inaccurate results.

 

CONSUMERS PLEASE NOTE #2:

It is very important to understand the differences in legal standing and reporting for accredited lab versus self-collection. When making your decision please consider carefully the intended use of the paternity testing results.
 

The following comparisons may be used for reference.

Process Description (Comparisons)

Legally Admissible Collection Self-Collection
Specimen collection performed by OrlandoDNA authorized professionals must include verifiable proof of identity of all parties. Collections are available in medical facilities nationwide and in-home in many locations.

Appointments available 7 days a week. 2-3 day standard turn-around time.



Order

Performed at home by individuals being tested using a home DNA collection kit with cheek or buccal swabs and easy-to-follow directions. Tested individuals rub swabs on the inside of their cheek, place them in labeled envelopes, and return the samples in the package provided. Those swabs contain the DNA necessary for testing.

5 day standard turn-around time.

Legal Standing

Legally Admissible Collection Self-Collection
Useful for all legal purposes including child custody and support, social security, insurance, military, adoption, inheritance, tribal and immigration rights and benefits.

 

 

 

Order
 

Even though our labs are certified, the results of a home test are not useful for legal purposes because it is not possible to independently verify who has been tested.

A very good test, but not useful beyond 'peace of mind'.
