Reliable, Accredited Maternity DNA Testing You Can Trust

Whichever ordering option you choose, all maternity DNA tests are carried out using accurate, laboratory-tested DNA analysis to confirm the biological mother of a child. Each kit includes easy-to-use cheek swabs, allowing samples to be collected comfortably, discreetly, and safely at home.

All maternity DNA samples are analysed in an ISO 17025-accredited UK laboratory, following strict quality and accuracy standards. Results are typically issued the next working day* once all valid samples have been received by the laboratory.

Both ordering options include everything needed for testing, with no compromise on accuracy, reliability, or turnaround time — the only difference is when the laboratory analysis fee is paid.
