How Accurate Are The Results?

Indeed, alternative samples are as accurate as standardized testing. In fact, the source of your DNA, whether it’s from a razor, buccal swab, or nail clipping, doesn’t alter its composition. Moreover, the method of DNA collection doesn’t affect the accuracy of the results. Therefore, as long as you provide AZ DNA with a sample containing sufficient DNA to obtain a profile, you can expect the same level of precision as standard testing.

Legal Status of Alternative DNA Test Results

Consequently, the method used to collect the samples directly determines the legal status of alternative DNA test results. Generally, these results serve private use only. Yet, the scenario changes when AZ DNA actively participates in and witnesses the sample collection process, as this lends legal credibility to the results, making them admissible in court.

Underlining our dedication to privacy, we have structured our alternative DNA paternity testing services to uphold your confidentiality and meet the most stringent legal and ethical standards.
