How accurate is DNA Paternity testing?
DNA paternity testing can provide conclusive results to questions regarding paternity. The report will indicate greater than 99.9% for paternity inclusions, and 100% for paternity exclusions if the tested man is not the true biological father of the child. We guarantee legally accurate test results.

DNA paternity testing is 100% accurate when done properly. Our Dual Process™ helps to ensure a strict chain of custody and error-free results by proper handling, testing, and analysis of samples. Many laboratories mistake the term accuracy for likelihood (or probability). The probability of paternity is a statistical measure of the likelihood of the biological relationship. In the case of an inclusion result (the alleged father is found to be the biological father), the probability of paternity could be as high as 99.999% and above. All paternity tests will show a result below 100%—to produce a 100% probability, a laboratory would have to test every other man in the world. Instead, the paternity test uses a population database to calculate the probability of paternity. An exclusion result is always 0% because if the genetic profiles of the child and alleged father do not match, there is statistically no chance for the two to be biological related.
