Home Maternity DNA Testing $115

Our maternity test package is complete with collection kit, DNA analysis and test results. Some companies advertise that you can make your own collection kit by using your own Q-tips®. However, we do not recommend this practice. Although this may save the company money, it may cause costly problems for you. There is a risk of multiple DNA samples being found on Q-tips® that are not sterile, or that may be handled by more than one person. Q-tips® you may have in your home could already have DNA from other sources on them. For this reason, we send a DNA collection kit containing sterile buccal swabs to you at no charge. We ship the kit to you for FREE so you have your sterile medical swabs as ready for use as soon as the next day.

Our service is simply unparalleled and our prices are very affordable. You can rest assured your maternity DNA samples are secure and your test results will be extremely accurate. With today’s technology and inexpensive pricing on DNA relationship testing, there is no longer a need to go without knowing the truth about a biological relationship.

Participants In Different Cities Or States

It isn’t uncommon for test participants to live too far apart to get together for a maternity DNA collection. We offer an option to have multiple collection kits shipped out for these situations. When you place your order, simply choose the option for an additional address and provide the address in the box that pops up on the order. The maternity testing collection kits are linked through reference numbers and barcodes before shipping. Then, when the samples are received they are matched to your case through the barcode and reference numbers.

Maternity Testing Process And DNA Sample Collection

The maternity testing process is very simple. DNA sampling is done through a cheek swab, also referred to as a buccal swab. The swab is painlessly rubbed against the inside of the cheek to collect skin cells. We process all of our tests twice. For that reason, there will be multiple buccal swabs per person in your collection kit. Swab each side of the mouth. It is best to rinse the mouth with water and refrain from smoking or drinking coffee or tea for 2-3 hours before the DNA collection. Once the swabs have been taken, place them in the smaller sample envelope labeled accordingly for that participant. Put all sample envelopes inside the preposted return mailer. Finally, drop the samples off at the courier’s location or box to send your samples in for testing.

When all samples are received for your case, you will be notified via email that testing has begun. Your DNA maternity test completes in 1-2 business days. We send the result to the email address on your account. If purchased, hard copy results are mailed to the billing address unless otherwise noted.

Free USPS 2-way shipping to addresses in the contiguous USA. We ship Monday through Friday. Orders received and processed by 12:00 PM EST ship the same business day. Orders received after that time ship out the following business day.

We Offer Informational and Legally Binding Maternity Testing Services

Our informational maternity testing provides you with peace of mind of whether or not a mother/child biological relationship exists between mother and child. If you need maternity results for evidence in a court of law or other governmental domestic agency, then you must purchase an accredited legal maternity DNA test. Our legal maternity DNA test results are admissible court approved evidence in child support, visitation rights, change name on the birth certificate, estate, wills, probate situations, and/or any other type case where the relationship must be proven by an accredited DNA test. Additionally, if your DNA test is for immigration purposes, the embassy, USCIS or Dept. Of Homeland security may require DNA evidence of the relationship. If so, then read about DNA test for immigration purposes.

When The Mother Is Not Available

Maternity testing is always conclusive and there commendation when the mother is available to test. However, there may be other tests to determine maternity if the mother isn’t available. A grandparent test is done with one or both of the alleged mother’s biological parents. Alternatively, a siblingship, or sibship, test is a test done with another child who may share the same mother. If the alleged mother has a full brother or sister, an avuncular aunt/uncle DNA test is another option. Additionally, an mdDNA mitochondrial test will conclusively determine whether or not the test participants are from the same female line.

Other Types of DNA Samples

The most common method of DNA collection is through a cheek swab. However, we understand there are times when a test participant is not able to submit a swab; such as may be the case where a family member is deceased, incarcerated or otherwise unavailable. For these reasons, we offer forensic processing services for other types of DNA samples. Ear wax, hair (must have the root ball attached), mucous on a tissue, finger or toe nail clippings, and toothbrushes are common forensic samples. Additionally, in certain cases tissue or blood samples may be available from a medical examiner or coroner’s office. Forensic sampling prices apply for non-standard samples. For pricing and more details on this process, please contact a DNA Case Manager.
