How do we do our sibling DNA testing?
From just £149, our Sibling DNA test can help you verify whether two or more individuals are full siblings or half siblings.
When two or more people have the same biological parents, they are classed as full siblings. Half siblings only share one biological parent – the mother or father.
For a sibling DNA test, cheek swabs are used to collect DNA samples from each sibling. For the most conclusive result, we also ask for the biological mother’s DNA sample, if available.
Once these samples arrive at the laboratory, our in-house geneticists analyse and compare the DNA samples to determine the genetic profile of the possible siblings and calculate a sibling DNA index or likelihood ratio.
- A likelihood of greater than 10 supports that the tested individuals are either full or half siblings
- A likelihood of less than 0.1 is not supportive, meaning the individuals are unlikely to be related
- A likelihood which falls between 0.1 and 10 is considered inconclusive, which means a relationship cannot be determined based on the statistical probability obtained from the analysis

You can choose to receive next day* results (included in the cost of your test), or same day* results for an additional £70.
Please note that this test is for peace of mind only and is not admissible in court. If you require a DNA test for legal matters, you will need a legal DNA test.

I recently used Alphabiolabs to carry out a unique DNA sibling test with my brother who tragically passed away. The support, guidance and service I received was amazing. It was a very sensitive case and I felt the staff handled it very professionally. Thanks to a lady called Carolyn I would recommend Alphabiolabs to anyone. Thank you so much to you all for helping me achieve what I needed. Peace.

Staff at alphabiolabs was really helpful throughout my sticky situation but they dealt with it in a confident and professional manner throughout keeping me and my family calm and collected. We got the results on time, worth every penny.

For a sibling DNA test, cheek swabs are used to collect DNA samples from each sibling and the biological mother, if available.
Once these samples arrive at the laboratory, our in-house geneticists analyse and compare the DNA samples to determine the genetic profile of the possible siblings and calculate a sibling DNA index or likelihood ratio.
- A likelihood of greater than 10 supports that the tested individuals are either full or half siblings
- A likelihood of less than 0.1 is not supportive, meaning the individuals are unlikely to be related
- A likelihood which falls between 0.1 and 10 is considered inconclusive, which means a relationship cannot be determined based on the statistical probability obtained from the analysis
Our standard sibling test is already industry-leading, as it analyses 25 DNA markers (the industry standard only analyses 16-21 markers).
What makes AlphaBiolabs unique is that we can also analyse up to 45 DNA markers. This allows more genetic material to be analysed, which strengthens the result and provides additional reassurance.
This is ideal for customers who want the most powerful DNA test available.
Our Sibling DNA test results are 100% accurate and reliable based on the samples we receive at our laboratory.
We are also accredited to the international quality standard ISO 17025 for our DNA testing.
Yes, the Sibling DNA test can be used to determine whether individuals are half siblings.
Half siblings share one biological parent – the mother or father – and will normally share more DNA than people who are not related.
This makes it possible to use sibling DNA testing to determine whether individuals are:
- more likely to share one common parent (i.e. they are half siblings, with one biological parent in common) or
- are more likely to be unrelated
A sibling DNA test requires cheek cell DNA to be collected from each sibling using cheek swabs.
We also ask that the biological mother’s DNA sample be provided where possible, for the most conclusive result. However, we can still perform the test without the mother’s sample.
Your DNA test kit will contain enough cheek swabs to collect DNA samples from two siblings and the biological mother (if available), along with full instructions on how to collect your cheek cell DNA samples and return them to our laboratory.
You can also choose to add a third sibling to the test for an additional £49, and more cheek swabs will be provided in the test kit.
For the most conclusive result, we do ask that the biological mother also provides a cheek swab sample, if possible.
However, this is not essential, and we can still perform a sibling DNA test without the mother’s sample.
Your test kit will contain enough cheek swabs to collect DNA from two siblings and the biological mother (if available).
Yes, you can choose to send a test kit to a second address, for an additional fee.
Simply choose this option when placing your order.
In the unlikely event that your test result is inconclusive, we will refund the price of your test, no questions asked.

Please note that sibling DNA tests bought via third party retailers are not included in this guarantee.
