Paternity testing in South Africa

So who is the daddy? Well, in most cases, the only way you can be 100% sure is by doing a DNA test for paternity. These tests are easily available from leading laboratories and companies that actually operate online. This means you do not even need to leave the comfort of your home to get the test.
Ordering your test takes just a few minutes. Once you have ordered your DNA test, easyDNA sends out a home sample collection kit. With the kit you need to collect samples from the following people:

• The alleged dad (the man you suspect but are not sure is the real father of the child or children)
• The child or children
• The mother

The mother’ sample is not indispensable as the test can be done without this sample. But it is a good idea to always include it if she is available. This is because you get a more accurate DNA test result with the mother’s sample and do you not wish your results to be as accurate as possible?
The sample of the above 3 test participants can easily be collected with the oral swabs you find inside your kit. Wondering what exactly are oral swabs? Simple: these are just simple cotton tipped applicators that will remind of cotton buds. They are called “oral” swabs because they are used to sample saliva from the mouth. Once you have collected the samples, you can send them off for testing and wait for the results. Results provided by easyDNA South Africa are ready in the shortest turnaround time possible – just 5- 7 working days. The result template is also extremely easy to understand so that you will immediately know the answer without a clutter of technical and scientific jargon to baffle you and confuse you. Of course the customer support team is always at hand to answer any of your DNA related questions.

What about if you are pregnant?

Well if you want to know who the daddy is but have not given birth to the child yet, you could opt for a non invasive prenatal paternity test. This is a very recent test, fruit of many years of scientific research by leading laboratories and scientific institutions in the USA. This test is safe, totally risk free and the quickest and most straight forward prenatal paternity test possible. All that you need to provide us with is:

• A blood sample from the alleged father
• A blood sample from the expectant mother

easyDNA will send you the specially prepared kit with the blood collection tube, forms and special bio-hazard packaging. The results are just ready in 5- 7 working days and you can take this test starting from your tenth week of pregnancy.
