Post-natal Paternity Test

Description

Paternity Test is an advanced paternity testing for determining fatherhood of the baby after birth.

 

About the Test ?

Paternity Testing can be used to assess the paternity of the child once it has been born and is a cheaper alternative to the pre-natal Paternity Safe Test.

It allows to profile the baby’s DNA to be compared to that of the alleged father(s).

The baby’s genetic profile will be made up of half of the genetic profile from the mother and half from the father. Therefore, the alleged father to be considered the biological father will have to own half of the genetic profile present in the baby.

Paternity is EXCLUDED in case in which the genetic characteristics of the potential father differ from those of the baby, while it is ATTRIBUTED if they match.

At the end of the process a report is generated to show if the man tested is or is not the biological father.

Accuracy rate – 99%
