Private Paternity Test
The DNA samples are privately collected. All tests conducted
by a laboratory accredited by American Association of Blood Banks, however the
results are non-admissible in court and other legal proceedings. The results may not be used for any legal
purposes.
Private Paternity Testing with the
mother is also known as
a TRIO test. This is the standard test that will be ordered for a non-court admissible test
or when all parties cooperate to verify paternity for private use only. The Trio paternity test requires a
DNA sample from the child, the mother and the alleged father(s).
A final results report will show "child", "mother"
and "alleged father", the tested DNA systems, the probability of paternity
(POP)
expressed in percent and the combined paternity index (CPI) expressed as a ratio to
one and it will NOT contain a notarized
signature from the AABB accredited
laboratory.
Private Paternity Testing
without the mother is also known as a motherless test or
mother not tested (MNT). This is the standard test that will be ordered for a non-court admissible test, when the
mother is unavailable or the mother will not participate in sample collection.
The MNT paternity test requires a DNA sample from the child and the alleged father(s).
Whenever possible, we recommend submitting the mother's sample, too. The combined paternity index will be
lower in tests conducted without the mother's sample and it may take longer to complete
testing.
A final results report will show "child"
and "alleged father", the tested DNA systems, the probability of paternity
(POP)
expressed in percent and the combined paternity index (CPI) expressed as a ratio to
one and it will NOT contain a notarized
signature from the AABB accredited
laboratory.
