Q: Why a Paternity Test? A: A DNA paternity test can be helpful for many situations: · Child support · Child custody and visitation rights · Adoption · Immigration sponsorship · Estate and inheritance · Confirmation of any biological relationship · Peace of mind  Return to topQ: Why Empire Genetics? A: At Empire Genetics, we understand the sensitive nature of paternity issues. That is why we guarantee to provide you with professional and confidential service. We will spend as much time discussing your case with you, and make sure you know everything you need or want to know about the testing process. Return to topQ: Are your tests legally admissible? A: Our laboratories are the most trusted in the United States. Courts accept their results as evidence, and often direct parties to use our lab for testing. When testing with Empire Genetics, you can rest assured that you are using the most qualified testing laboratory in the industry. Return to topQ: Where can I be tested? A: Your convenience is extremely important to us. We have a large network of over 1000 test sites across the USA. We can even send someone to your home or office, for a small extra fee. Return to topQ: How long will it take to see results? A: Results are usually available 7 business days from the day specimens are received by the laboratory. However, if you need results rushed, we can make special arrangements for an extra charge. Please call for details. Return to topQ: Can a paternity evaluation be done without testing the mother? A: Absolutely! The mother's specimen is not necessary for accurate testing to be performed. Return to topQ: What if the parties are in different cities, or want to be tested in different locations? A: We have a large network of test sites, and have much experience with this kind of testing. We take special care to make sure that specimens collected at different times and locations are tested together at the lab. Return to topQ: How are specimens collected? A: We perform a "buccal swab". This means that we rub a cotton swab, similar to a Q-tip, against the inside of the cheek, to collect cells for evaluation. While it is just as accurate as a blood test, this procedure is painless and non-invasive, making it a much more desirable test, particularly in the case of small children. Return to topQ: How reliable are the results? A: When the results say that the alleged father is not the biological father of the child in question, the results are 100% accurate. To include the alleged father as the father of the child, it is technically impossible to reach a 100% conclusion. However, we do the most extensive testing in the industry (far surpassing the requirements), to ensure that your results are 99.9% accurate, more accurate than any other lab. Return to topQ: When you quote me a price, is it the total cost, or will my actual bill be higher? A: The price we quote you will include all shipping, collection, and reporting costs. There are absolutely no additional surprise fees! Return to top |
