For those who wish to have paternity testing performed for informative purposes only, we have available our Home Sample Collection Kit. The kit will be sent to you at no charge. The processing fee of $279, which includes taxes, should be sent along with the samples when they are submitted to us for analysis. Split kits can be sent out if the father and child live in different cities. Results can be informational or, if arranged, for legal purposes. Call us for information. Learn more.
Viaguard Prenatal Paternity Testing
Viaguard offers every option.
The most commonly requested prenatal paternity test is the non-invasive method which involves detecting the fetal molecules of DNA which have diffused through the placental membrane and are found in maternal blood. This method has 99.9% accuracy using exclusive DNAffirm technology. Click here for details.
Prenatal paternity testing is a sensitive and confidential service. You can depend on the experience of the professional staff at Viaguard to guide you.
Only Viaguard offers the precision of DNAffirm testing on all genetic paternity tests.
The following are the currently available options for prenatal DNA paternity determination and for complete detailed information click here.
All cases of prenatal paternity testing require buccal swabs or an appropriate source of DNA from the potential father. The buccal swabs can be taken at our facility or we will send you a sample collection kit for that purpose call us for other possible sources of paternal DNA.
The DNA profile of the paternal samples will be matched with the fetal DNA obtained by two principal techniques defined as invasive and non-invasive to yield results that are 99.99% accurate.
Non-invasive Procedures
Non-invasive procedures involve collecting a small sample of blood from the mother and pose no element of fetal risk.
Maternal Venous Blood Sample
Definitive and Risk-Free
A very small amount of blood is collected in two mini-vacutainers. The samples are taken at a laboratory and then centrifuged to separate the cells and plasma. Viaguard works with laboratories across North America so this simple sample collection can be done at a convenient location. We supply the laboratory with the appropriate collection kit which is then returned to us for processing. Cost for this test is $980.00.
Finger-prick method
This method uses a few drops of maternal blood collected from a finger-prick after the 10th week of gestation. The drops of blood are collected on a Viaguard membrane filter pad and the sample collection procedure can be done at our facility or at home using our sample collection kit. The test is dependant on finding sufficient fetal DNA in the blood droplets. Cost of the test is $299.00. If insufficient Fetal DNA is found there is a no cost test after the child is born which will yield a definitive answer.
Invasive Techniques
Invasive techniques involve the collection of fetal DNA from Amniotic fluid or Chorionic Villi by a procedure performed by your doctor.
Amniocentesis
This is the collection of fluid from the Amniotic sacs surrounding the fetus and this fluid which contains an abundance of fetal DNA is tested by Viaguard. Amniocentesis is performed after 14 weeks of gestation. A complete DNA paternity test using paternal DNA and Amniotic fluid cost $399.00.
Chorionic Villa Sampling (CVS)
This sampling is performed by your doctor after ten weeks of gestation and involves the collection of cells from the placenta, which are then analyzed by Viaguard for fetal DNA. Cost for this test is $399.00.
Invasive procedures involve the insertion of a thin needle in through the mother’s abdomen and uterus to withdraw the requisite sample. Invasive procedures carry an element of risk to the fetus ranging from 0.5% to 2%.

The Viaguard Prenatal Gender Test is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes exclusive DNAffirm precision technology to genetically determine the gender of a fetus with 98% accuracy after approximately 7 weeks of gestation (or 10 weeks after last period).
Click here to order a no charge, easy to use, sample collection kit, or call us at 416-691-4167 or toll free at 1-877-842-4827. The laboratory fee of $249 including all taxes is remitted when samples are submitted for analysis. Results in 7 days, 98% accurate.
The collection kit allows the mother to use our sterile disposable lancet to pinprick her fingertip and allow 2 or 3 drops of blood to be collected on our enclosed membrane card which is then sent to us. The maternal blood carries fetal DNA which allows us to determine with up to 98% accuracy the gender of the fetus.
Infidelity Testing
Viaguard is a leading infidelity testing laboratory. Infidelity is a complex, confidential, and sensitive issue, and at Viaguard, we understand its potential implications.
Infidelity testing can be as simple as detecting the presence of semen on an article of clothing, or may involve a comparative DNA check on any item that may contain biological tissue from the suspected third party.

What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is a specific brain disorder that affects thinking, memory and language. It was named after the German doctor Alois Alzheimer who in 1966 noticed various changes in the brain of a female patient including abnormal clumps-now called amyloid plaques, and tangled bundles of fibers (neurofibrillary tangles). Even today the only certain diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is a post mortem autopsy showing these physical traits. Although formerly believed to be primarily caused by the aging process, it has been established that genetics plays a pivotal role in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

DNA relationship testing utilizes genetic analysis to conclusively determine biological relationships between test applicants. It is possible to perform DNA analysis through alternative family members (Grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc.) to determine paternity or maternity in cases of a missing/deceased parent, establish if two people are siblings and if they share one or both parents. Other biological relationships can also be determined through DNA analysis. Learn more.

Accu-Hemoscopy: Colorectal Cancer Screen
Instant At-Home Screening Test for Pre-Symptomatic Colorectal Cancer
No one has to die from colorectal cancer. Early detection through screening is essential, and the Accu-Hemoscopy test is an invaluable tool.
Convenient, instant, and easy to use, the Accu-Hemoscopy test for the detection of trace amounts of fecal blood avoids the need to handle fecal matter, and is based on the principles of radioimmunoassays.
The specially treated membrane filter is placed in the toilet bowl after a bowel movement. Any trace amounts of blood in the feces will react with the indicated radioreceptor capture agent for hemoglobin, causing a blue-green colour to form. This is indicative of a positive test.
The Accu-Hemoscopy kit costs $49. For complete details, click here.

The drug abuse hair testing analysis meets US, FDA, and international testing standards. Analysis results will indicate a negative or positive for each drug tested and in the case of a positive result test results will show the quantitative level of use. Results are available within 5 business days upon receipt of a sample. Click here to learn more.
The Accu-Affirm Saliva Drug Test is a qualitative and anonymous analysis for the presence of ilicit drug metabolites in saliva. Analysis results will indicate a positive or negative for each drug tested. The test is performed at home and takes about 5-10 minutes. Click here to learn more.

Viaguard’s advanced quantitative hair test determines the level, if any, of consumption of alcohol for up to the previous three month period. The test is based on levels of EtG (ethyl glucuronide) a metabolite of ethyl alcohol, which is deposited in the hair shaft and measured in picograms (one trillionth of a gram) per milligram of hair.
Since EtG is only created during the metabolism of alcohol, there is no potential for a result influenced by external contamination. Levels of alcohol consumption determined by this test are categorized as follows.
| Less than 25 pg/mg | Negative |
| 25-50 pg/mg | Mild to Moderate consumption |
| 50-80 pg/mg | Excessive consumption |
| 80+ pg/mg | Serious Alcoholism |
