Testing Procedure

If you are requiring the test for personal knowledge only, we will require a buccal swab sample for testing. The buccal swab is a safe and painless method for collecting DNA from inside the mouth. You can quickly and safely collect the buccal sample yourself discreetly in the privacy of your own home. The swabs are then sent directly to our laboratory for analysis. If you would like to initiate a private test, submit a request form online or by mail and a buccal swab collection package will be sent to you.

Special Situations

If you are requiring a test for legal use, please contact the laboratory to discuss your situation and to determine whether we will be able to assist you in your situation. Please note that for legal tests, you will have to attend an appointment for sample collection. A fingerprint and photograph will be taken at the time of the appointment and the collection procedure will be witnessed and documented by a third party witness. You must also bring two valid identification documents to the appointment.

If you have any questions about paternity testing, please contact us at staff@londonbiosciences.co.uk.
