What is a dadcheck® test?
A dadcheck® paternity test is exactly what it says! We work out whether or not there is a possibility of an individual being the biological father of a particular child. This is sometimes called a paternity test. Each and every one of us is unique. This uniqueness comes from our genetic code, which we have inherited equally from our biological mother and biological father. The dadcheck® paternity test detects the presence of regions of this unique genetic code, which can in turn be used to determine if individuals are related. We analyse your genetic code and the results are displayed as a series of coloured bands. We then look at these bands from both mother and father to see if every band in the child is present in the parents. If so, there is a good chance that the child and parents are biologically related.
