<\/i>What can these tests reveal?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

A DNA test will either unequivocally rule out paternity or confirm paternity with a probability of at least 99.99% (i.e. \u201cpaternity virtually proven\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n\t\t\t

No, we do not perform paternity tests during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>Who is the STANDARD paternity test suitable for?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

The STANDARD paternity test is suitable in cases when you want to verify or exclude the paternity of the tested man towards the child. Informed consent is not required, nor do you provide the names of the test subjects, so 100% anonymity is guaranteed. However, the origin of the samples analysed is known only to the client, i.e. the identity of the persons tested has not been verified by a forensic expert and the testimonial value of such a test in court is low. However, the laboratory test itself is done in the same way as the forensic paternity test, so the result is the same.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>What does an anonymous paternity test mean?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

It is a comparison of anonymous samples without identification of the tested persons. The identity of these persons is known only to the person ordering the test.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>What is the difference between the STANDARD and EXTRA paternity test?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

The EXTRA paternity test includes, in addition to the STANDARD test, a comprehensive results report with individual DNA profiles of the tested persons and possible analyses of repeated sampling.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>For whom is the LEGAL paternity test suitable?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

The LEGAL paternity test is a forensic-forensic test suitable when the results of the test are to be used in court as evidence and for legal purposes or any other official acts, because the origin of the samples analysed is known, i.e. the identity of the persons tested has been verified by a forensic expert.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>What samples can be used for a paternity test?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Sampling can be done using a sampling kit, which will be sent to you by post to the address you specify after you have placed your order. You will then swab the oral cavity for each person tested. If it is not possible to do such a collection, or if you do not want other people to know about the test, it is possible to use a variety of non-standard materials as a sample.

<\/i>Can the quality of the biological material samples for DNA analysis affect the result of a paternity test?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

No. In the event that, for example, the biological material sample has been spoiled (trapped food residues) or contaminated with other DNA (improper handling of samples), etc., and therefore a reliable and unambiguous DNA profile cannot be obtained from one person (the originator of the sample), the paternity test is not evaluated. In this case, we contact the customer to repeat the sampling or make a new order.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>Je potrebn\u00e9, aby bola testovan\u00e1 aj matka?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Not necessarily. However, her presence \"improves\" the statistical significance of the test \u2013 it increases the paternity index and the probability of paternity, or on the other hand, increases the number of exclusionary systems. If the mother is part of the paternity test, she must be non-excluded in relation to the child (the maternity is confirmed).<\/p>\n

In case of doubt about maternity, it is necessary to test it separately. Maternity is tested in principle the same way as paternity, but it is not usually performed because there is typically no reason for it (however, with the rise of assisted reproduction, cases involving questions about maternity are becoming more common).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>Can I come to the laboratory in person to collect the sample?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

If you come to our laboratory in person, we will hand over the sampling kit to you and you will take the samples yourself. Alternatively, for an additional fee of 30 EUR , it is possible to request the collection by our employee.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>When can I come to the lab to pick up my collection kit?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

If you have selected the personal collection option in your order, you can arrive at any time during opening hours.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>What does the sampling kit contain?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

The sampling kit contains a minimum of 2 tubes of cotton swab sticks.<\/p>\n

Marking of sticks:<\/p>\n

Red<\/strong> \u2013 mother<\/p>\n

Green<\/strong> \u2013 child<\/p>\n

Yellow<\/strong> - marked man<\/p>\n

Blue<\/strong> \u2013 other persons<\/p>\n

The package also includes a bubble envelope in which you put the samples and send them to our address or deliver them in person.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>Can I drink or eat before sampling?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

You must not eat, drink, smoke, chew gum, use nose and throat drops or sprays, brush your teeth or use mouthwash for at least 60 minutes before the collection.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>When will I get the results?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

We send the test result report no later than the deadline specified for each test. The time limit starts on the day following receipt of the sample and crediting of the payment for the test. For example, for a STANDARD test, receiving payment and samples on Monday means that we send a report with the result no later than Monday the following week (but usually sooner). This time can be reduced by an express surcharge of 2 working days.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
