Same day shipping.  Get Results in as little as 3-7 days* Turnaround Time3-7 business days from receipt of all samples

A: A prenatal paternity test uses cell-free DNA from the developing fetus floats freely in the bloodstream of the pregnant mother. This DNA can be found as early as the 7th week of pregnancy. With our exclusive technology that has been published in Genetics in Medicine, DDC develops a DNA profile of the fetus’s DNA and compares the profile to the DNA profile of the possible father.

Q: What does “non-invasive” mean?

A: “Non-invasive” means there is no need to intrude in the baby’s safe environment to test for paternity. Instead, we collect only a blood sample from the mom’s arm, and a cheek-swab sample from the father.

A: No, a previous pregnancy will not affect the outcome of a non-invasive prenatal paternity test.

Q:Is there a difference between the DNA Diagnostics Center laboratory and other labs?

A: Yes, there are many differences. Here are the Top 3:

Patient Care: Our prenatal specialists have an average of 10+ years’ experience and guide you through testing and are available to answer questions every step of the way.

Testing Accuracy: Our lab maintains seven (7) laboratory accreditations, reflecting our commitment to quality and accuracy. Including the Gold Standard: AABB accreditation.

Full-Circle Test Management: UWP's lab does not farm out our testing or our services. All stages of testing happen here in our state-of-the-art lab, so we have complete control over the quality of testing and services provided.

• No ultrasound needed as with other invasive prenatal paternity tests
• No risk to pregnancy since the blood-draw for the mother is done intravenously through the arm

• Turnaround Time3-7 business days from receipt of all samples
• Get Results in as little as 3-7 days* 

​​​​​​​NOTE: Three (3) business days turnaround is express service, which carries an additional fee.

Mother and Alleged Father (AF)

This non-invasive prenatal test is completely safe for both mother and unborn child and utilizes the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to generate results. The technology examines 2,688 SNP (pronounced snip) markers in the DNA to develop the data used to calculate whether or not the alleged father is the biological father of the fetus.

How It Works

• We are able to separate fetal DNA from the mother’s DNA to create a DNA profile for the fetus (cells from the developing fetus float freely in the bloodstream of the pregnant mother); these fetal cells can be detected as early as the 7th week of pregnancy
• UWP can develop a DNA profile of the fetal cells and compare the profile to the DNA profile of the alleged father

Chain-of-Custody Requirements

Chain of custody requirements must be fulfilled for test results to be defensible in any legal situation, such as inheritance disputes. These requirements include the following:

• Samples are collected by a neutral third party, such as a clinic or laboratory
• The individuals tested are positively identified (i.e., they present a government-issued ID to be photocopied and/or they are photographed)
• Prenatal Paternity Collection kit is used for the blood sample collection for the mother and the buccal swab collection for the allege father
• This kit includes a Prenatal Identification and Consent Form (COC-4029) for the tested parties and collector to complete and sign
• Guardianship of tested minor must be verified at the time of signing consent
• The kit may not be in the possession of the clients prior to or after being collected

Non-Chain-of-Custody Requirements

In a non-chain of custody test, a certified phlebotomist may collect blood samples but identification of the tested individuals does not have to be verified. The collector does still need to use the Prenatal Paternity Blood Collection kit. Results of this test are for personal knowledge only and may not be used for legal purposes.

• Since the origin of the samples cannot be verified, names are listed on the report in the same way they are labeled on the samples
• A kit number is assigned to each kit and appears on the report as a reference number for the case

• Blood sample for mothers must be sent to the laboratory via courier domestically or fastest shipping option internationally: Samples that take longer than 7 days to arrive at the laboratory may require recollection
• The laboratory must have two (2) FULL vials of the mother’s blood for testing. Fewer than two (2) full vials may require recollection
• Additional alleged fathers are encouraged to participate in the initial test. An additional alleged-father fee is required for this option.  If testing has already been started, adding an additional alleged father is no longer an option
• The gender of the fetus is available on the report for an additional charge UWP Lab partners with Natera. Natera analyzes the raw-sequencing data and provides the final conclusion regarding inclusion or exclusion. The accessioning of the kit and processing of the samples takes place at UWP Lab.
• Indeterminate results are rare but possible. No conclusion regarding paternity can occur for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: cases of incest and alleged fathers who share a close biological relationship
• A mother’s sample may need to be recollected if there is low fetal DNA found in the blood sample. Fetal DNA increases the further along the mother is in her pregnancy
• If mother has had blood transfusion, collection must be done no earlier than one week after transfusion

At this time we cannot perform this test for the following:

Incest case

Related alleged fathers (unless both are willing to be tested)

Twins or multiple fetuses

In vitro fertilization, egg donor, or surrogate
