Bluestar Blood, Drug & Fingerprinting offers non-invasive prenatal paternity testing in Plano and Dallas, TX for individuals who want to determine biological paternity during pregnancy without an invasive prenatal procedure.
Testing can be performed as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy and uses a blood sample from the pregnant mother along with a DNA sample from the alleged father. Because the test analyzes fetal DNA circulating in the mother's bloodstream, there is no need to collect a fetal sample through invasive procedures such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
How Does a Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test Work?
During pregnancy, small amounts of fetal DNA circulate in the mother's bloodstream. The laboratory analyzes this DNA and compares it with the DNA of the alleged father to determine the probability of biological paternity.
The collection process is straightforward and does not require an invasive procedure involving the pregnancy.
How Early Can Prenatal Paternity Testing Be Done?
Non-invasive prenatal paternity testing is available once the pregnancy has reached at least 7 weeks.
This allows paternity testing to be completed during pregnancy rather than waiting until after the baby is born.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Please allow approximately 30 minutes for your appointment.
A blood sample will be collected from the pregnant mother, and a DNA sample will be collected from the alleged father for comparison. The samples are then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Results are generally available within approximately 7 business days after the laboratory receives the samples.
How Much Does Prenatal Paternity Testing Cost?
The Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test is $1,525.
Testing is available through our Plano and Dallas, Texas locations. Contact Bluestar Blood, Drug & Fingerprinting if you have questions about the testing process before scheduling.
