Can drugs, medications or blood transfusions affect the test results?
Our DNA paternity tests are not affected by drugs or medications. The collection of buccal swab samples for our DNA testing eliminates the concerns that were associated with older forms of paternity tests which required blood samples for the test procedures. With blood samples, recent blood transfusions or a medical procedure called a bone marrow transplant could affect the test results. These concerns are eliminated with the isolation of DNA from the cheek cells collected with our buccal swab collection method.
