You want to determine the paternity or maternity of a child but you are not involved in a court matter, you should purchase a non-legal at-home test.

* If there is any chance the results might be needed for legal purposes, a legal test should be performed.

RSC Health uses the same testing technology for both legal and non-legal testing. Non-legal or at-home tests allow for sample collection at your home and do not follow the legal chain-of-custody protocols needed for a legal test.

Our highly accurate tests exclude, on average, 99.99% of non-fathers.

A DNA collection kit will be delivered to you. The kit will contain 4 cotton swabs for each person that will be providing their sample for testing.

DNA samples can be collected at home by rubbing the cotton swab on the inside of the cheek.

A paternity or maternity test can be used to establish the parenthood of an individual for a court case such as child support, social security, or child custody. The test can also be used to support placing a parent’s name on a birth certificate.

RSC Health places the highest emphasis on following legal chain of custody with your sample, so your sample will be valid evidence in a legal setting. We employ the latest technology to provide the most accurate results for you. Our highly accurate tests exclude, on average, 99.99% of non-fathers. We provide safe, secure, and efficient transportation of your samples.

The most common sample type is a buccal swab. This sample is collected using a cotton swab that is gently rubbed on the inside of your cheek.

Blood samples are also acceptable.
