Prenatal paternity testing in Preston

Imagine being able to determine whether a man is a baby’s biological father before the baby is born. And imagine if this was 100% safe too. It may sound too good to be true, but it’s not. AlphaBiolabs’ prenatal paternity testing is non-invasive, risk-free and available in Preston. The test can be performed as early as 6 weeks after conception (or 8 weeks after the last period).

Because a baby inherits DNA from both of its parents, AlphaBiolabs’ prenatal paternity test can identify if a man is the father of a baby by looking at three samples:

• the pregnant woman’s DNA
• the alleged father’s DNA
• and the unborn baby’s DNA

How does the DNA prenatal paternity test work?

The prenatal paternity test works by analysing the baby’s DNA within the mother’s bloodstream. The mother only needs to provide a blood sample so there are no side effects or risk of miscarriage. The alleged father’s sample simply involves using a mouth swab to collect DNA from his cheek cells.

When the blood and swab samples are received back at our award-winning UK laboratory, our scientists recover the DNA and identify which half of the baby’s DNA is inherited from the mother and which half is from the father. If the alleged father is indeed the biological father, both baby and father will share DNA.

The results of the prenatal paternity test are available within 7 days for £795. There is also an express 4-day service for an additional £200. To help you pay for this test, a 6-months’ interest-free credit option is available upon request.

DNA prenatal paternity testing options in Preston

There are three sample collection options for your prenatal paternity test in and around Preston:

• The blood and mouth swab samples can be collected at our Walk in Centre at Unit 5, Albert Edward House, The Pavillions, Ashton-on-Ribble PR2 2YB.
• We can arrange for one of our highly trained sample collectors to come to your house, your place of work, or anywhere else convenient to collect your samples.
• You can request that your GP (or another medical professional) take your samples. For this option, we will send out a testing kit to you.

The blood and mouth swab samples do not need to be collected at the same location, but they should be collected around the same time to avoid any delays and the risk of the blood samples haemolysing.
