Paternity and all Relationship tests are available upon request.
DNA paternity testing is the most advanced and accurate method available for resolving parentage for medical, legal, or personal reasons. With advanced DNA technology, paternity testing is accurate, rapid and an affordable means for obtaining conclusive answers with respect to parentage. During a paternity test, a buccal swab specimen is collected from the child and the alleged father (mother is optional, but not required for conclusive results). The sample which is collected is comprised of cells containing the donors unique "genetic blueprint" in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). At the laboratory, the DNA is extracted from the cell and specific regions of the DNA are amplified by a process known as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for examination. The DNA profile of the child is compared to that of the alleged father or other party. Since a child's genetic profile is inherited from his/her biological parents, examination of the child's DNA will conclusively determine its biological parentage.

Viaguard DNAffirm Technology and Paternity Determination
Understanding DNA
DNA (desoxynucleic acid) stores the genetic information in the cells of your being. It is made up of four similar compounds A.T.C. and G, that are repeated over and over in pairs.
A gene is a distinct portion of a cell’s DNA and provides the coded instructions that help structure and determine every aspect of your physical and mental being.
Genes are parcelled in bundles called chromosomes. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes one of each are from the mother and one from the father. The 23rd chromosome is the sexual determinate.
Viaguard testing is based on PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and the use of STR (short tandem repeats) to generate multiplex reactions where many STR regions are tested simultaneously. Viaguard DNAffirm technology used in paternity testing produces a 100% result excluding the approximate .0000001% incidence of monozygotic genes (identical twins).
