Sibling DNA Testing in Edinburgh (Peace of mind)

AlphaBiolabs Sibling DNA testing uses DNA technology to establish whether or not a brother and a sister have the same father or the same father and mother.

AlphaBiolabs Sibling DNA testing has an accuracy rate of 100%. We ask for the inclusion of the mother’s DNA samples in this testing procedure as this usually increases the accuracy rate. We use statistical analysis to evaluate the amount of DNA shared between the individuals tested to deduce a biological relationship.

Auntship DNA Testing in Edinburgh (Peace of mind)

Aunt DNA testing (also known as Avuncular tests) is often needed when the alleged father or mother is deceased or unwilling to participate in the testing process and the alleged aunt of the child would like to establish their biological relationship to the child.

Uncle DNA Testing in Edinburgh (Peace of mind)

Uncle DNA testing (also known as Avuncular tests) is often needed when the alleged father or mother is deceased or unwilling to participate in the testing process and the alleged Uncle of the child would like to establish their biological relationship to the child.

Grandparent DNA Testing in Edinburgh (Peace of mind)

Grandparent DNA tests can be used to establish a biological relationship between an individual and one or more of their alleged grandparents.

One of the main reasons that this test is performed is when a child’s alleged father is unavailable for paternity testing and the child’s grandparents want to know whether the child is truly related to them.

A DNA maternity test is suitable if you want to demonstrate the existence of a biological relationship between an alleged mother and a child. The DNA maternity test is similar in principle to a DNA paternity test.
