Test Details

An analysis of the fetal DNA and the mother’s DNA can be used to help pinpoint the exact “genetic markers” that were contributed by the father. Then the DNA of the potential father is analyzed to determine the probability that his genetic markers are found in the child. This is known as a percentage probability of paternity.

If I have questions about my tests results who should I contact?

We recommend you share your results with your physician.

How does the Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test work?

During pregnancy, fetal DNA is present in the maternal blood. Paternity can be determined by sequencing and analysing cell-free fetal DNA extracted from the maternal blood. This test is non-invasive, only requiring a blood sample from the mother which is safe for both the mother and the unborn child. Other prenatal DNA testing methods can be invasive and can come with risks such as miscarriage and leakage of amniotic fluid.

Our DNA test is highly advanced, and the most accurate on the market. It analyses over 5,000 genetic markers, known as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), to determine paternity with 99.9% accuracy. We are also able to test more than one alleged father at an additional cost.

Prenatal paternity DNA testing is for ‘peace of mind’ purposes only and are not admissible in a court of law. Most courts will require a legally admissible Paternity Test to be performed after the baby has been born to confirm paternity.

How many weeks pregnant do I need to be?

Our Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity test is validated from 7 Weeks Gestational Age. However, optimal testing is from 10 Weeks gestational age (this means you will be in your 10th week of pregnancy, starting from the first day of your last menstrual period).

If you provide a sample too early, or if your gestational age has been calculated incorrectly, there will not be enough fetal DNA for us to detect in the sample and we will not be able to obtain a result. Therefore, we recommend waiting until at least 10 weeks. If there is not enough fetal DNA in the sample, we will request a recollection of your sample at a later date.

What samples are needed for the test?

For the non-invasive prenatal paternity test, we require the following samples:

  •  1 x 10 mL blood sample from the mother
  • 1 x 10 mL blood sample from the alleged father

Once we have received your application and payment, we will send a collection kit to your nominated address. Your kit will contain everything needed for collection of your samples, and to return them to us.

You will need to take the kit to your local doctor or pathology centre to have the sample collected. Please note, there may be an additional collection fee charged by your doctor or pathology centre and this is not included in the cost of testing.

If the child has been conceived through IVF, is being born via surrogacy, or if it is a twin pregnancy, prenatal paternity DNA testing can still be done but the samples required for DNA testing may be different. Please see our NIPPT FAQ’s or contact us to discuss your particular case

Prenatal Baby Bundle

Our Prenatal Baby Bundle includes our Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity and Prenatal Chromosomal Abnormality Screening (NIFTYTM) Tests at a discounted price. Our tests are the most accurate and safest way to determine paternity, gender and potential risk for a range of health conditions.

NIFTYTM is a highly accurate and risk free, non-invasive prenatal screening test for chromosomal abnormalities. All that is required is a blood sample from the mother to screen for chromosomal conditions including trisomies, such as Down Syndrome and Edwards Syndrome, Sex Chromosomal Aneuploidies and Deletion/Duplication Syndromes in the unborn baby. Due to the nature of this test, a doctor’s referral is required. Click here to read more about NIFTYTM.

Important Note

There are some situations in which non-invasive prenatal paternity DNA testing is not suitable. For example, if the mother is suffering from cancer, toxaemia of pregnancy or has had a blood transfusion, bone marrow or organ transplant, or stem cell therapy. Please contact us to discuss further.

Can you get a non

Yes. Prenatal DNA testing makes it possible to confirm paternity as early as 7 weeks into the pregnancy, using a non-invasive method to provide highly accurate results. At no risk to your health or the health of your unborn child, this lab test can establish a DNA link to the child's biological father.

How much does it cost to get a DNA test while pregnant?

The cost of a DNA test while you're pregnant varies depending on the type of test. In the U.S., amniocentesis or CVS testing can cost over $500, while non-invasive tests are more expensive — around $1350 to $1750 depending on how quickly you want the results. Health insurance companies usually don't cover this cost.

Can my Obgyn do a prenatal paternity test?

NOTE: Prenatal Paternity Tests must be collected by your OBGYN. Please contact them before ordering the test to ensure they are willing to perform the sample collection. This test includes one Mother and one Alleged Father with 5-day test results once samples are RECEIVED at the lab.

How accurate is non

The non-invasive prenatal DNA paternity test provides 99.9% accuracy, more than any other type of prenatal paternity test. This advanced DNA screening, available any time after the eighth week of gestation, analyzes traces of the child's DNA found in a blood sample from the mother.
