When you request a regular home paternity test kit from Paragon Genetics, within a few short days, we will have sent you an unmarked envelope about 6" X 7" that contains…
1. Sample collection instructions to help you understand the process.
2. A submission form along with a consent and indemnity agreement page.
3. A return envelope.
4. A price list that itemizes our pricing structure for different types of cases.
5. A set of cheek swabs (2 cheek swabs are in each set) per person being tested.
What we need from you is to take the print material and go over it so that your clear on everything.
If you ever have any questions at all regarding the home paternity test kit, please feel free to give us a call and one of our customer support people will be more than happy to clear anything up.
When you receive the home paternity test kit, you basically take a swab, that looks like a fancy ear wipe, and brush the top of the inside of the mouth with it a few times. Spin the swab around evenly to get saliva on both sides. This is the easiest way to get good DNA. It won’t hurt, it may even tickle a bit.
Put the swab back into the thin plastic sleeve and mark on the attached label whose DNA it is. Use the other sleeve with another swab for the other person to be tested and mark that sleeve accordingly as to whose DNA it is. Then send us back the home paternity test kit.
What we look at when that swab gets back to our lab, are the skin cells that shed off from the inside of your mouth with saliva. You won’t be able to see these with the naked eye. These skin cells contain the DNA we need to do our tests.
Your DNA in your hair scalp or your blood or your sweat or your other bodily fluids is the same DNA that we get from your saliva from the top of your mouth.
Package these all up in the larger plastic sleeve and put everything including the signed forms in the return envelope we supplied you with. The test is completely confidential.
