One of the questions that we get asked frequently at Smart DNA Nigeria is how much is paternity DNA testing? The answer to this question depends on the type of paternity DNA test you want and what you’re going to use the results for.
Some of the factors that influence the price of DNA tests in Nigeria include, the type of DNA test, the number of participants, the mode of DNA testing service delivery (either Home testing or Walk-in), and the nature of the sample sent for testing including (i.e hair, nail, blood, swabs, and extraction of DNA from materials like toothbrush, underwears, etc).
Another key factor that determines the cost of DNA tests in Nigeria is the number of genetic markers or alleles analysed during the test. Generally, the more alleles are tested, the more accurate the result is. At Smart DNA, Our paternity test analyses up to 45 DNA markers – double the industry standard for paternity testing – to examine the child’s DNA and identify which half is inherited from the father
