How are paternity test samples collected?
Standard DNA paternity tests with Boston Paternity are performed with DNA samples from cheek swabs. Cheek swab samples are as accurate as blood samples, and they involve painless and noninvasive collection. We can send you a collection kit with instructions for self collection, or you can contact our case managers to make an appointment with a professional collection facility near you. DNA samples can also be collected from hair, blood, other bodily fluids, or personal articles. Call a BP case manager to discuss non-standard collections.
