Free DNA Paternity Testing - Beware Promises of Free, Cheap Tests
Promises of free DNA paternity testing are easy to find online, as are cheap $99 DNA paternity tests. But lab tests are like everything else in life - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Labs that offer inexpensive or free DNA
paternity testing frequently leave important
details off their web site, such as the true,
total cost of their services.
Other problems with many low-cost or free DNA paternity testing labs include:
- Unqualified lab workers (often college or grad students)
- Ambiguous offers of legal paperwork, even though their methods won't hold up in court
- Motherless testing
- Lack of expertise (some genetic research labs perform DNA testing on the side, as an additional moneymaker)
- Accuracy sacrificed for speed
Reputable laboratories, on the other hand, post their total costs (as well as their turn-around times) in an easy-to-understand manner. Trusted DNA paternity testing companies also:
- Employ leading experts in the DNA testing industry
- Clearly explain which of their services are admissible in court and which are for personal information
- Urge the inclusion of the mother in tests, as recommended by the AABB accrediting association
- Specialize in DNA paternity tests and other family relationship tests
- Provide dual process testing to ensure accurate results
