Doubt that you are the father? Do you need to get absolute answers today? International Biosciences is a leading online, based DNA testing company offering paternity testing services with only the samples of alleged father and child, with the option of testing the mother if her sample is available. Our home paternity testing is the most accurate and scientific means you have to obtain the answers you need in the comfort of your own home.
We suggest you return samples by courier directly to our office because the local postal system has proved unreliable and we cannot be responsible for samples that do not reach us.
Including The Mother
Home paternity testing with the mother’s sample provides results that are in excess of 99.99% accurate in cases where the tested, alleged father is the biological father. On the other hand, if the mother’s sample is not included, the results will show a probability of paternity in excess of 99.9%.

Science behind the home paternity test
Once we extract a 21 genetic marker profile from the samples of the tested individuals, we proceed to compare the profiles. If we see that all genetic markers on the profile of the alleged father and the child are identical and match at every point, we can confirm that the tested father is the biological father of the child. If genetic markers do not match, then the tested father is not the biological father of the child.

Do I need to include the mother?
DNA paternity testing will provide in excess of 99.999% probability of paternity in an inclusion result (meaning the tested, alleged father is the biological father) when the mother’s sample is not included in the test. We, at International Biosciences, carry out most of our paternity testing without the mother’s sample but we always recommend including the mother’s sample when she is available for the test. This is because in rare cases, paternity testing without the mother’s sample can lead to an inconclusive result which can only be concluded by having the mother’s sample. There is no extra charge for including the mother’s sample.
