How Does A Home DNA Test Work?

A home DNA test is used to collect DNA samples in the privacy of your own home. Samples are sent to our laboratory without verifying the identity of the person providing the sample. A home DNA test for paternity or maternity (Curiosity Tests) are for those who are ‘curious’ about their biological relationships.

Home Paternity Testing

A home DNA test for paternity helps determine whether the adult being tested is the biological father of the child or children. A standard paternity DNA testing kit includes obtaining a DNA sample from the mother, if available.

Paternity Test Kits

Home Maternity Testing

A home DNA test for maternity helps determine whether the adult being tested is the biological mother of the child or children.

Children get 50% of their DNA from each parent. With a standard maternal DNA testing kit, you can verify the mother/child relationship (maternity) without having to test the father.

Curiosity vs. Legal

Each DNA test can be conducted as a home DNA test – “Curiosity” or a court-approved “Legal” test. We always recommend that you obtain a Legal DNA test if there is any chance that the results will be contested in a court of law.

Maxxam Analytics is honestly the best. After having a terrible experience with a previous lab, I contacted Maxxam Analytics to inquire on how quickly we could get our testing done for immigration purposes. I spoke with Jo-An who is the customer service representative for DNA testing, and she was absolutely amazing! She was knowledgeable, understanding, and thorough with everything. She understood our sense of urgency and made everything happen almost immediately. I am so please with the service I received from Maxxam Analytics, and specifically from Jo-An and would let anyone know they can rest at ease with using their services! Thanks again.read more
