What is DNA?
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a very important molecule found in all living cells. It contains information used in everyday metabolism and growth and influences most of our characteristics. We inherit half our DNA from our father (Paternally) and half from our mother (Maternally). DNA testing allows you to compare DNA from the child, mother and father to confirm biological relationships such as Paternity.

How do you determine who is the father?
Each individual has a unique genetic profile, inherited equally from the mother and the father. DNA samples taken from the child and suspected father can be compared using our DNA Paternity test and can prove whether or not the suspected father is the biological father or not. The sampling is carried out according to the instructions in our DNA Sample Collection Guide packed within the DNA testing kit you receive.

Why is confirming the paternity important?
Many important life decisions are impacted by paternity, such as a child's financial welfare and parental custody. Many parents, children and families also find peace of mind from undertaking a DNA test for paternity. It is also essential to know the biological parent for health record/ medical history reasons.

Each DNA testing kit consists of:

• 3 colour coded sets of cheek swabs
• (pink- mother, blue –father, yellow – child)
• 3 colour coded sample collection envelopes
• Easy to follow instructions
• Consent Form
• Terms and Conditions
• Postage-paid envelope
