Specimens we can test for DNA
The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a DNA sample for paternity testing is to swab the inner cheeks of the alleged father and child or children. 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 ordering one of our testing kits online and shipping the specimens back to us.
Legal DNA Tests vs. "Peace of Mind" At-Home Tests
A Legal Paternity Test is a court admissible lab testing service performed at an AABB accredited laboratory. Accurate results for DNA paternity testing with 99.99% confidence or greater take about a week.
When deciding which type of DNA test is right for you, consider first what you might do with the results. A legal paternity DNA test will hold up in court for such matters as child support or to change the name on a birth certificate. This test must be performed using strict chain of custody procedures. Our Lakeville DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.

DNA test reunited long lost sisters in Minnesota
After being separated for years and unaware of each other's existence, two sisters from Romania's lost generation were recently reunited. Three decades ago, the fall of a communist dictator in Romania led to overcrowded orphanages filled with isolated children. A Lakeville family adopted Lia, while her sister, Zoyie, was adopted in Kansas. When Lia took a DNA test and a bystander recognized her story as similar to Zoyie's, the two were connected and eventually met. They even discovered they have another sister and a brother in Romania and plan to visit them in January.
