Genomics Plus conducts these tests accurately as early as the first trimester. There is no risk to the fetus in this method, unlike Invasive paternity DNA tests like Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling. It is a new technology available since 2002 and is becoming very popular in recent years. A handful of DNA labs can perform this test, and our partners are the founders of this groundbreaking technology.
The non-invasive paternity DNA test gets its name since it utilizes only blood samples taken from the pregnant women's arm. The blood collected from the pregnant woman's arm will contain the DNA of both her and the child. Genomics Plus extracts fetal DNA from the pregnant woman's blood sample, and tests determine the paternity relationship. We collected an alleged father's DNA sample using a pure specimen obtained from the cheek cells to perform the tests. A hair with the root attached is another specimen sample collected by Genomics Plus to determine the alleged father.
