Specimen collection in the privacy of your own home

With state-of-the-art technology, buccal swab specimen collection has become a method of choice for DNA paternity testing. Buccal swab collection is fast, safe, painless, accurate, and can be performed on patients at any age, including newborns. Because of the availablility of buccal swab specimen collection, patients now have a choice to collect the DNA sample themselves discreetly in the privacy of their own home.

If you require a DNA paternity test for private knowledge only and not for use in court, you can choose to collect the sample yourself and submit it directly to the laboratory for testing. When discretion is a concern, self collection is a safe and effective alternative to attending an appointment for sample collection by a third party.

Several options are available for initiating a private DNA test:

Set up testing online using a credit card
To proceed with testing, fill in the secure online form and submit it directly to the laboratory. All information that you provide will remain discreet and confidential. Once your request is received by the laboratory, a discreet paternity testing kit will be sent to you by mail or courier. If you have specific requirements, please do not hesitate to contact the laboratory directly.

Set up testing by mail using postal order or credit card
To set up a test by mail, download our printable laboratory requisition form. Fill in the form and send it directly to the laboratory with postal order or credit card information.

Please note that results obtained from samples collected in private cannot be presented as evidence in court. For legal testing, patients must attend an appointment at a designated collection facility for specimen collection. During the appointment, all individuals will be fingerprinted and photographed. The entire collection procedure is witnessed and documented by a third party. If you will require testing for legal purposes, please contact your lawyer to discuss the requirements and regulations for DNA testing in your area.
