A personal paternity (Peace of Mind) test is the simplest and quickest way to confirm whether or not an alleged man is the biological father of a child. The procedure involves collecting and examining the DNA of a small sample of bodily fluid or tissue from a child and the alleged father. You can either have the test sample collected at our office or from the comfort of your home.
Paternity testing specifically seeks to determine if a father-child relationship exists between two individuals. This is done through looking for matches in genetic markers between the concerned individuals to determine how likely it is that a parent-child relationship exists between them.
The test involves collecting samples (that is just simple mouth swab or toothbrush where discretion is needed) from the alleged father and the child. This test can also be analysed including the mother’s samples (optional)
At Smart DNA, your collected DNA samples are tested and reviewed in a laboratory that is accredited to the highest international standard, ISO 9001, a certification awarded to facilities that display outstanding excellence in their methods and procedures. We also understand that the issue of paternity is a very sensitive issue in Nigeria; this is why we ensure the testing process is carried out in a confidential manner.
