Please take some time to review our DNA Testing Information page for more information about DNA sample collection, the difference between buccal mouth swab samples and blood samples as well as the difference between peace of mind DNA testing versus legal DNA tests.
Release of DNA Test Results
DNA test results will be available to download from this website 5 working days after we receive the DNA samples, completed registration form and payment of the laboratory processing fee.
Peace of mind DNA results are also available by telephone, email or post for an additional administration fee, currently £5 for telephone, £10 for email and £15 for first class post.
For legal DNA tests, one copy of the notarised test results and supporting documentation will be posted to you, or a designated recipient, as per your instructions. They may also be emailed or telephoned at no extra cost. Further notarised copies are available at an additional cost of £50 each.
Rush Analysis of DNA
If yours is a more urgent case and you require a faster turnaround time, we provide a Rush Processing service at additional cost, currently £80 - £350 for a 4, 3, 2 or 1-day turnaround. This express service is available for all our DNA tests including the paternity test. Please visit the individual DNA test page for full details.
Other Sources of DNA
Should you find you are unable to provide a mouth swab sample, or do not wish to concern or upset your child by collecting a DNA sample in this way, we are able to extract DNA from a variety of other sources at additional cost. These alternate sources include hair, nail clippings, chewing gum, cigarette butts and clothing. Please click here for full details of other DNA sources we can work with, prices and success rates.
