Paternity Tests

What will I find in the prenatal DNA testing kit? How do I collect the DNA sample?

Your kit will contain everything you need to collect the samples for the mother and alleged father. To see everything that your kit contains, go to our sample collection page.

Samples are collected via a standard blood draw. You will need to have the samples taken by a qualified nurse or your GP.

What is the cost of a paternity test?

The cost of a home paternity test is just €169.00. This is for testing the alleged father and 1 child. If the mother is also available and willing to take part, we suggest sending her sample in as well. If additional alleged fathers or children need to be tested, the respective costs can be found on our website. We can offer a discount in cases where clients order a test involving 4 or more people.

What is the importance of accreditation?

All samples are analyzed in ISO17025 accredited laboratories with state-of-the-art genetic identification systems using 16 different genetic markers. The results guarantee minimum probabilities in excess of 99.99%+ for inclusion of paternity and 100% for exclusion (these probabilities apply to testing carried out with the mother’s sample. If the mother’s sample is not included, the results guarantee minimum probabilities in excess of 99.9%+ for inclusion of paternity and 100% for exclusion).

Do I need to test the mother?

EasyDNA carries out many of its paternity tests without the mother’s sample. However, we urge our clients to send the mother’s DNA sample when and if she is available. This will help us give you results with a higher of probability of paternity. Testing of the mother comes at no additional charge./p>
