DNA Paternity Testing
Our paternity testing lab will help you prove the paternity of your child with a court admissible paternity test that can be used in any court in the United States.
How does a paternity test work?
Everyone inherits DNA from their biological parents. DNA paternity testing scientifically compares the child's DNA with that of the alleged biological father and, in most cases, the mother as well (at no additional cost) to determine completely valid paternity test results.
The documents for any DNA test, including tests for paternity, are carefully handled according to established Chain of Custody laws.
Transmetron is a full-service paternity test collection lab & paternity testing facility.

Legal Paternity Testing
Paternity Testing means establishing fatherhood. Everyone is born with a unique genetic blueprint known as DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid). Everyone inherits DNA from their biological parents. DNA paternity testing scientifically compares the child’s DNA with that of the alleged biological father and, in most cases, the mother as well to determine completely valid paternity test results.
Court Admissible
Paternity test results can be court admissible in the following cases:
Social Services / Family Services
Child Custody Cases
Private Requests
Immigration
DNA Paternity Testing
Transmetron offers quality DNA Paternity Testing Services - DNA Paternity Test
Our lab is the first national DNA laboratory to offer a 21-marker genetic analysis in combination with our standard double-blind process on every paternity sample in every paternity case.
The experience and expertise of our Lab DNA Identification Testing division in the paternity testing industry provides clients with choices of enhanced and expanded services, including:
The ability to perform noninvasive sample collection (buccal swabs) on all parties and exclude, on average, more than 99.999% of non-fathers.
DNA test results usually available within 2 weeks after specimens are received at the laboratory.
Types of Paternity Tests
Standard Trio Paternity
Paternity can be determined using a simple buccal-swab collection from the mother, child and the alleged father. A buccal-swab collection is performed by using a collection device similar to a cotton swab and gently swabbing the inside of the cheek to collect a DNA sample.
Who needs to be tested? Mother, One Child, One Alleged Father (AF)
Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test
Paternity can be determined using a simple blood draw collection from the mother and a buccal-swab collection from the alleged father. This non-invasive prenatal test is completely safe for both mother and unborn child and utilizes the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to generate results. The technology examines 2,688 SNP (pronounced snip) markers in the DNA to develop the data used to calculate whether or not the alleged father is the biological father of the fetus.How It Works
• We are able to separate fetal DNA from the mother’s DNA to create a DNA profile for the fetus (cells from the developing fetus float freely in the bloodstream of the pregnant mother); these fetal cells can be detected as early as the 7th week of pregnancy.
• With our exclusive technology that has been published in a leading medical journal, DDC can develop a DNA profile of the fetal cells and compare the profile to the DNA profile of the alleged father.
Benefits
• No ultrasound needed as with other invasive prenatal paternity tests
• No risk to pregnancy since the blood-draw for the mother is done intravenously through the arm.
Motherless Paternity Testing
Who needs to be tested?• One Child and One Alleged Father (AF)
Prenatal Paternity: Amnio or CVS
Paternity can be determined before birth through prenatal testing, which can be done during the 10th through the 24th week of gestation using amniocentesis or chorionic villi samples collected by an OB-GYN. The mother’s participation is required.
Who needs to be tested?
• Mother, Prenatal Sample, and one (1) or more Alleged Fathers (AF)
