| Motherless Paternity
Test |
$79
for complete test |
3-5
working days |
The
DNA motherless paternity test will conclusively determine whether an alleged
father is the true biological father of the child. A DNA paternity
test can be performed with or without the mother. All 16 genetic loci including the core
CODIS loci are tested for every paternity case. Our laboratory
provides results with greater than 99.9% probability of paternity
for inclusions and 100% for exclusions. All tests are automatically
run twice to ensure 100% accuracy. The full genetic report is included
with every test. The average turnaround time for paternity testing
is 3 - 5 working days. |

| Maternity
Test |
$125
for complete test |
3-5
working days |
The
DNA maternity test allows the accurate determination of maternity
for adoption cases, IVF, and general confirmation. Like the DNA
paternity test, the maternity test provides conclusive results
greater than 99.9% for inclusions and 100% for exclusions. The
testing kit comes complete with all of the materials and instructions
to collect the buccal cells quickly and painlessly for DNA analysis.
The average turnaround time for maternity testing is 5 - 8 working
days. |
| Sibship
Test |
$150
for complete test |
3
to 5 working days |
When
the issue of sibship is in question, the recommended method to
determine whether the children are biological siblings is to test
the parents. DNA paternity and maternity testing will provide conclusive
results. However, in situations where the alleged parents are unavailable
for testing, a DNA sibship test can be performed to analyze the
relationship of biological siblings. Unlike a DNA paternity test
which will always provide a conclusive result, sibship tests are
different. When a sibship test is conducted, the DNA laboratory
will determine the genetic profile of the alleged siblings. Based
on the type of genetic material inherited by each sibling, a sibship
index is determined. If the sibship index is less than 1.00, this
indicates non-relatedness. If the sibship index is greater than
1.00, this indicates that the two tested individuals are more likely
to be true biological siblings. The higher the value of the sibship
index, the greater the likelihood that the two individuals are
true biological siblings. To analyze the possibility that the siblings
share only one common parent versus two common parents (mother
and father), a half sibship index is obtained. The ratio of the
half sibship index versus the full sibship index would provide
you with an idea of whether the two individuals are more likely
to share only one common parent (e.g. mother only) or two common
parents (mother and alleged father). The sibship test is intended
to provide patients with an understanding of whether they are true
biological siblings, and also provides information regarding whether
they share only one or both parents in common. |
| Grandparentage
Test |
$150
for complete test |
3
to 5 working days |
When
the parents are not availabe for DNA testinng, the grandparents
can be tested to determine whether they are the biological grandparents
of the child. If both grandparents are present for testing, the
gene pool of the alleged father can be full reconstructed and then
tested against the grandchild, much like a standard paternity test.
If only one grandparent is available for testing, the genepool
of the alleged father cannot be fully reconstructed. In situations
where only one granparent is present for testing, a relationship
analysis can be performed to determine the liklihood that the grandparent
and grandchild are related. To proceed with grandparentage analysis,
contact our laboratory at 1-866-708-2128. |
| Twin Testing |
$150 for complete test |
3 to 5 working days |
For the determination of chorionicity (fraternal twins vrs identical twins). Each kit includes complete collection materials and instructions for safe and painless collection of DNA samples from children and adults at any age. |
| Prenatal
testing |
contact
our laboratory to arrange prenatal testing |
7
to 9 working days |
Testing
can be performed before birth using CVS samples or amniotic fluid
samples. The results are just as conclusive as testing which is
performed after the child is born. To arrange for prenatal DNA
testing, call our laboratory at 1-866-708-2128 to make arrangements. |
| Forensic
testing |
$180
per sample |
Usually
9 working days. May take longer, depending on quality of samples. |
DNA
testing can be performed on a wide range of forensic samples. Examples
of samples which are frequently submitted to our laboratory for
forensic testing include: cigarette butts, hair, dried blood, dried
saliva, dried urine, underwear stains, razor shavings, hair brushes,
toothbrushes, bone, chewing gum, licked stamps and envelopes and
wind instruments. Our state-of-the-art laboratory utilizes PCR
technology and we have extensive experience in helping patients
with unusual samples. to procede with forensic testing, call our
laboratory at 1-866-708-2128 to discuss your particular situation.
If you decide to proceed with forensic testing, our laboratory
will provide you with a forensic specimen sample number and I.D.
number and send you a forensic speicmen shipper. Once you receive
your I.D. # and shipper, the forensic sample can be shipped directly
to our laboratory for analysis. analysis is usually completed within
9 working days. |
| Sex
testing |
$180
per sample |
7
to 9 working days |
Our
laboratory is able to analyze forensic samples to determine whether
human biological material is present. If human biological material
is present, we can determine whether the sample originated from
one individual or more than one individual. Furthermore, we can
determine the sex of the individual and we can even match the sample
to an individual in question. To start a file with our laboratory
for sex testing, call our customer service department at 1-866-708-2128. |

Patient
Testimonial of the week:
To the staff at Metaphase, Thanks so much for all the help that
you provided us. We especially appreciate the time that you took
to explain everything to us. I am really happy to be reunited with
my daughter and am comfortable knowing that she is my own.
H. Walker, Boulder, CO
