These skin cells are known as buccal cells, and they rub off easily onto cotton swabs and remain in place for analysis by our laboratory. Other specimen samples, such as hair follicles, fingernails, and garments that might contain someone's DNA, can also be tested. An Alternative Specimen DNA Test is done by registering online and shipping the specimens to us.

Greenville, North Carolina - DNA Testing
Establishing paternity in Greenville, NC
Unwed parents have several options for establishing paternity in Greenville, North Carolina. Parents can sign the affidavit of parentage, but they should only consider this option if both have no doubts about paternity. After this document is signed, it is legally binding and can be very difficult to overturn. However, if parents have no doubts, this is the easiest and quickest option for establishing paternity. They can also do it at the hospital after the baby is born, and the hospital staff can help them with the process.
Another way of establishing paternity is going to court. Many parents choose this if they are unsure about paternity or also want the judge to establish child support, visitation hours, or custody. The court often orders the alleged father and the child to undergo a DNA test. Genetic testing is an easy and painless way to determine the child-father relationship and usually done by a cheek swab. When the DNA test results are returned to the court, the judge may use these to determine paternity.
