Paternity Testing
Paternity Testing is used to test if a man is the biological
father of an individual.
The method of testing that we use is the most advanced, accurate and reliable method of testing available today. Through our collaboration with molecular biologists at Glasgow University we are able to stay up to date with the latest technology.
Paternity Testing is not the only type of test that we offer; we have a range of tests that may be of use to you, see What we can Test for further information.
Please contact us if you do not find the test that you are looking for.
