LEGAL DNA TEST
Here for You
A DNA "Legal test" is an official DNA test used for legal purposes. Persons taking part in the test can be verified and chain of custody of the samples is intact.Paternity testing may be required where it is necessary to prove a relationship between alleged relatives, such as disputes over child custody, child support or estates claims. Formal identification also ensures the results of every Legal DNA paternity test are court-admissible.
Sibling DNA TEST
For Peace of Mind
The likelihood of a biological relationship between participants can be determined by analyzing the amount of shared genetic material in their DNA profiles. This test is based on the fact that a child inherits half of their DNA from each parent, resulting in a higher amount of shared genetic material between siblings compared to unrelated individuals. The percentage probability generated from the calculations helps to identify the most likely relationship between the participants, whether it be full siblings, half siblings, or unrelated individuals.
INDIVIDUAL DNA PROFILE SAMPLING
A Happier you
Every person has a unique DNA profile that identifies them as an individual. Lab DNA offers a DNA profiling service that will provide a record of this unique genetic fingerprint, so that it can be made available for use in the future if required.​Because a DNA profile is a person’s unique biological identity, it can be used in any situation where it is necessary to prove identity, or to prove a biological relationship.​
SCIENCE BEHIND THE TEST
In order to carry out a paternity test we compare the DNA profiles of the alleged father and the child. Each genetic profile consists of a number of genetic markers. We look for a match between all genetic markers to know whether or not the tested alleged father is the biological father of the child. Adding the sample of the mother can help us have a stronger result as we are able to clearly eliminate her share of genetic inheritance.
