Paternity testing provides scientific evidence of whether a man can be a child’s biological father.
Paternity is determined by comparing the child’s DNA with the DNA profile of the alleged father.
When should I purchase a legal paternity DNA test?
A paternity or maternity test can be used to establish the parenthood of an individual for a court case such as child support, social security, or child custody. The test can also be used to support placing a parent’s name on a birth certificate. MDT places the highest emphasis on following legal chain of custody with your sample, so your sample will be valid evidence in a legal setting. We employ the latest technology to provide the most accurate results for you. Our highly accurate tests exclude, on average, 99.99% of non-fathers. We provide safe, secure, and efficient transportation of your samples.
What kind of sample is tested in legal DNA tests?
The most common sample type is a buccal swab. This sample is collected using a cotton swab that is gently rubbed on the inside of your cheek.
Legal Immigration Testing

the U.S. Embassy, Department of Homeland Security, or United States Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS).
When should I use an immigration test?
When you need to legally authenticate your family to aid them in obtaining a visa and eventually citizenship. The results will be submitted to the immigration authorities.
