PRENATAL DNA PATERNITY TESTS
What is a prenatal paternity test?
A prenatal paternity test establishes paternity while pregnant
Why should I establish paternity while pregnant?
A main reason to establish paternity while pregnant is to determine the father of a child as early as possible. More complex reasons may include access to legal and social benefits, establishing accurate medical histories, ensuring the biological father is involved in the pregnancy, and perhaps simply to strengthen the family bond, particularly between a father and child.

Non – Invasive Pre – Natal DNA Paternity Test
Our Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test, which uses the SNP microarray method,
is the most accurate test available – and ours (DDC’s) is the first and only prenatal paternity test accredited by the AABB.
Because it’s non-invasive, the test is completely safe for mother and pregnancy.
How does a prenatal paternity test work?
Our Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test is the most accurate non-invasive way to determine paternity before a baby’s birth. Our process is state-of-the-art, combining the latest in DNA SNP microarray technology and paternity-determining algorithms. The baby’s DNA is found naturally in the mother’s bloodstream. The test requires a blood sample from the mother; then with our unique processing, the baby’s DNA is isolated from the mother’s and compared to the DNA taken from the possible father. The alleged father needs to provide only a Saliva Sample that will be taken with buccal swabs. A probability of paternity is determined, and a report is then produced.
How accurate is a non-invasive prenatal paternity test?
We provide at least a 99.9% probability on non-invasive prenatal paternity tests. A prenatal test is just as accurate as a postnatal test.What is the earliest I can get a paternity test while pregnant?
Our prenatal paternity test can be performed as early as 7 weeks after conception.How long does it take to get the results for a prenatal paternity test?
Results are available 7 business days after samples are received at the lab. 3-day results once samples arrive at the lab are available for an additional fee.PROS: Completely safe for mother and pregnancy.
CONS: It is a High Cost Procedure
Amniocentesis Pre – Natal DNA Paternity Test
Amniocentesis: Performed during Weeks 9-20
A gynecologist inserts an ultrasound-guided needle through the wall of the abdomen of the mother and extracts a sample of fluid from the amniotic sac. For a test, it is a relatively lengthy procedure that can take up to 45 minutes. The growing baby sheds cells into the amniotic fluid,
Amniocentesis: Performed during Weeks 9-20
A gynecologist inserts an ultrasound-guided needle through the wall of the abdomen of the mother and extracts a sample of fluid from the amniotic sac. For a test, it is a relatively lengthy procedure that can take up to 45 minutes. The growing baby sheds cells into the amniotic fluid, which allows the DNA to be collected. Amniocentesis is primarily used to detect chromosome abnormalities and genetic disorders such as Down Syndrome, cystic fibrosis and spina bifida, but since DNA is being collected in the process, it can be used for a prenatal paternity test. ADNLAB SRL is not providing the service of a gynecologist nor do we recommend any specific one. Our clients need to consult with their own gynecologist.Because this is a very delicate procedure that involves certain risks for the mother and / or the infant, we highly recommend to choose the best professional and not the cheapest one. The alleged Father needs to provide only a saliva sample that will be taken with buccal swabs. A probability of paternity is determined and a result is
than produced within seven business days.
PROS: It’s an economic solution with a relatively high success rate.
CONS: Amniocentesis is an invasive procedure that carries a small risk for the mother and / or the pregnancy.
