How does the DNA or Paternity Home Test Kit work?
The Home Test Kit contains illustrated instructions and a consent form to be filled out with information about each family member providing a sample. Except for infants and very young children, each person collects his or her own samples; the collection process is simple. Buccal sampling takes about 45 minutes for 3 people, with an additional 60-90 minutes for the swabs to dry. Blood sampling takes about 5 minutes for 3 people. The samples are then returned to labeled tubes and containers. The samples, plus the paper forms, are placed in the included prepaid mailing envelope and sent by mail back to our laboratory.

Do I need a court or doctor’s order for a paternity test? No, you do not need such an order to have GTL perform a parentage test.
