Why You Should Choose AssureDNA Your Paternity Test

A DNA paternity test is a scientific method used to determine whether a specific individual is the biological father of a child. By analysing DNA—the unique genetic blueprint each of us inherits from our parents—a paternity test can provide a definitive answer about parentage with near-perfect accuracy. Whether you’re seeking clarity for personal reasons or what also referred to as a peace of mind test or need evidence for legal matters, DNA paternity testing is an invaluable tool.

How Does a DNA Paternity Test Work?

DNA paternity tests compare the genetic material of a child and the alleged father. DNA is made up of thousands of genetic markers, and a child inherits half of their DNA from their biological mother and the other half from their biological father. A DNA paternity test identifies and matches these markers to confirm whether the alleged father is indeed the child’s biological parent.

The Testing Process Is Straightforward:

Sample Collection: Samples are typically collected using mouth swabs, which are painless and non-invasive. The swabs are rubbed inside the cheek to collect cells for DNA analysis.

Laboratory Analysis: The collected samples are sent to a laboratory where the DNA is extracted and analysed.

Results: Based on the analysis, the laboratory determines whether the genetic profiles match, providing a conclusive result.


AssureDNA: Peace of Mind Testing You Can Trust

At AssureDNA, we provide affordable DNA paternity testing designed for personal peace of mind. Unlike legal DNA tests—such as those provided by AttoLife, which require strict identification and chain-of-custody protocols—our tests are tailored for private use. They allow you to self collect your own samples at home, offering a convenient and discreet solution for your questions about biological relationships.

However, what sets AssureDNA apart is that all our tests are processed in the same state-of-the-art UKAS Accredited laboratory as AttoLife's legal DNA tests. This means that while AssureDNA’s tests are not intended for legal purposes, you can rest assured that your samples are handled with the same high standards of accuracy and care as those used in court-admissible cases.
