Parentage Test Q&A
The principle of Parentage Test
The paternity test compares the DNA of the testee (the child) with the alleged father to determine if half of the DNA between them is identical. The test requires the testee (the child) and the alleged father's blood or buccal sample. We will use the 15+1 locus analysis system to calculate the probability of parentage.
Q&A
QWhat is the difference between legal use and non-legal use Postnatal paternity testing?
The test methods are the same. For paternity test for legal purposes, samples must be collected at DiagCor Laboratory. All identity documents of the testees need to be checked and recorded. For paternity test without legal use, there is no restriction on the location of the sample collection, and there is no need to check the identity of the testees.
