DNA

we use cheek swabs.

available including cheek ( buccal ) swabs. You can order
the fully verified legal test, or an at home test depending
on your needs.
Q: How long does the DNA testing take?
A: Paternity results take 48 hours to process once the sample reaches the offsite lab. Samples are sent to the lab via overnight express service.
