Home DNA test kits are now widely available for those who are seeking the convenience and discretion of proving paternity. They are intended for private use and not for legal purposes. Most of the home DNA test kits offer as much as 99.9 percent accuracy when used properly, similar to laboratory testing procedures. The price for home DNA test kits are quite expensive and may range from $100.00 to $300.00, based on the company that manufactures the test. DNA test kits usually include the kit, DNA analysis charts, and results reporting.
Home DNA test kits are fairly easy to use, employing the buccal swabbing technique to obtain DNA samples. DNA collection is done within a few minutes and is virtually painless and safe. These tests also come with clear and easy to follow instructions which clients must follow to obtain accurate results. The samples are then sent through mail for analysis. Results of home DNA test kits are mailed back to the approved people as stated in the authorization forms enclosed in the kits. Test results are kept in high confidence and are released only to the authorized people who were tested and to other client-approved individuals, such as lawyers or doctors.
Consumers must remember that the results obtained through the use of home DNA test kits may not be used in court because it lacks neutral witnesses during the DNA sampling. In the event that consumers would like to use the results from home DNA test kits, they are required to visit the facilities of the kit’s makers where samples will be taken for proper identification and witnessing procedures.
Home DNA test kits are widely available through online sources. Consumers must carefully consider the credibility of the company from which they order their test kits. These sources must be backed by existing laboratories certified by DNA analysis associations for added reliability. Online sources usually ship test kits directly to the consumers at added costs.
