How much is a DNA test?
One of the questions that we get asked on a regular basis is, ‘How much do your DNA tests cost?’
The answer depends on the type of DNA test you require and what the results are going to be used for.
For example, if you want to find out who a child’s biological father is for your own peace of mind using a paternity test, but you’re not looking to use the results in a court of law, then the test will cost less. This is because samples for a court-approved DNA test must be collected under chain of custody procedures, which is a more costly process.
Unlike a peace of mind DNA test, the samples for a legal DNA test cannot be collected be self-collected at home. If the results of the test need to be used in court, or for a private legal matter, the DNA samples must be collected an independent third party. Naturally, this increases the cost of the test.
Each step of the sample collection process must also be recorded to maintain chain of custody, and ensure the sample is legally admissible.
