Frequently Asked Questions About Hackensack NJ DNA Testing
Are my paternity test results court approved?
All legal DNA tests are admissible in court. Therefore, results from our partner lab are legally acceptable. Please remember that results from our home DNA testing cannot be used for legal purposes. Contact our office at 888-204-0583 to schedule an appointment or ask any questions.
Are DNA Tests Accurate?
Yes. All DNA specimens are processed and analyzed by our partner laboratory, which is AABB accredited. This ensures high standards of accuracy and reliability in testing all DNA specimens.
Please keep in mind that home DNA tests are for informational purposes only. At-home DNA test results are not legally admissible. While our home tests follow the same strict protocols as legal paternity tests, they cannot be used legally.
Does IDTO Provide Prenatal Paternity Testing Services in Hackensack, NJ?
Yes. We offer an invasive prenatal paternity testing option that requires the assistance of an OBGYN. This testing can be performed in the early stages of pregnancy. The cost for this option starts at $850.00. See the timeframe below:
Amniocentesis
- Procedure: Involves inserting a thin needle through the abdominal wall into the amniotic sac to withdraw a small amount of amniotic fluid.
- Timing: Typically performed between the 15th and 20th weeks of pregnancy.
- Tests Conducted: The fluid contains fetal cells that can be tested for genetic conditions, chromosomal abnormalities (like Down syndrome), and certain infections.
- Risks: Includes a small risk of miscarriage, infection, or injury to the fetus.
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
- Procedure: Involves taking a small sample of tissue from the placenta (chorionic villi) through the cervix or abdominal wall.
- Timing: Usually conducted between the 10th and 13th weeks of pregnancy.
- Tests Conducted: The sample can be tested for genetic disorders and chromosomal abnormalities.
- Risks: Similar to amniocentesis, there is a risk of miscarriage and other complications.
Both procedures provide important information about the health of the fetus and can help parents make informed decisions regarding their pregnancy.
Please note: IDTO does not currently offer Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing (NIPP). Contact our office at 888-204-0583 to schedule an invasive prenatal paternity test today.
