ABOUT US

We Are One of The Most Trusted Labs for Non-Invasive Prenatal DNA Tests in USA & Canada 

Prenatal Genetics Laboratory is a genetic testing laboratory that specializes in fetal DNA testing before birth that helps determine paternity and the baby’s gender

Our Laboratory was established by research scientists with extensive experience in non-invasive human DNA diagnostics. Our mission is to provide fast, comprehensive, accurate and affordable service. We are able to fulfil this mission using the latest Prenatal DNA testing technology. We work closely with the medical community to refine our techniques and expand our applications of Fetal DNA testing before birth. As a result, the Laboratory became the first company to offer a non-invasive prenatal paternity test for the general public.

Our scientists have spent many years researching newer safer non-invasive techniques such as Prenatal DNA tests to replace invasive procedures that are risky. Traditional methods, such as amniocentesis, pose a variety of risks such as fetal injuries, infections and miscarriages. 

Our scientists have made use of Fetal DNA testing before birth technology for over 20 years. Our non-invasive, prenatal DNA tests can be used to determine paternity as well as affirm the baby’s gender. 

Other than addressing the safety concerns, our Prenatal DNA Tests follow highly accurate, peer-reviewed techniques and are also closely monitored to uphold the best quality. 

Our customer service staff are available to answer any questions you have regarding our services. You can call us at 1-866-362-0577, email us at info@prenatalgeneticslab.com or submit an inquiry using our contact form.

How does the non-invasive technique compare to the invasive testing?

Prenatal paternity testing on fetal cells from maternal blood samples has been thoroughly validated by the scientific community and a number of DNA diagnostic laboratories (see references).

Our Laboratory has over 20 years of practical experience in non-invasive prenatal paternity and gender DNA testing. The Laboratory was the first company in the world that offers a non-invasive prenatal paternity test to the general public in year 2001.

How far along in my pregnancy do I need to be for testing?

The mother needs to be at least 8 weeks along in her pregnancy to be eligible for our prenatal paternity and gender testing services. Most physicians determine how far along you are by counting how many weeks it has been since the first day of your last period.

Where is my blood sample collected?

The mother’s blood sample is collected at a local laboratory or hospital, which can be arranged by us. There may be a blood collection fee, which typically ranges from $20 to $50. You are also welcome to use your own family doctor or nurse for sample collection if you wish.

Who should not have a prenatal paternity test?

You should not have this test if:

  1. The mother had a “vanishing” twin/co-twin demise. This is a pregnancy that started as twins, but one of the twins was lost.
  2. The mother is expecting more than one baby (twins, triplets etc.).
  3. A pregnancy where a gestational carrier (surrogate) is involved.
  4. The mother recently had a miscarriage, which resulted in a different population of fetal DNA in the mother’s blood, which may affect the result of the prenatal test.

What if there’s not enough fetal DNA in my blood sample?

In the case of insufficient fetal DNA in the maternal blood sample, a second blood sample collection later in the pregnancy is recommended. There is no cost to re-test if the first blood sample was collected at 10 weeks into the pregnancy or later.

Are my test results kept private?

Absolutely. Ensuring that your information is kept safe is of the utmost importance to us. Our staff will not release any information regarding your case without prior consent. We will also follow any special communication requests you make.

In addition, we offer the option to hold your sample collection kit at a specific shipping location, and to protect your test with a password. Only those who have the password will be able to access your test information.

How and when do I pay for the testing?

If you choose to have your blood sample collected at a laboratory other than ours, we require a $100.00 (US) deposit for prenatal gender tests or a $200.00 (US) deposit for prenatal paternity tests. This deposit enables us to initiate the testing process. Upon completion of the blood sample collection, you will fill out a submission form that indicates your payment options. The balance of your testing fee can be paid via Visa, MasterCard, American Express or PayPal.

How long will it take to receive my blood collection kit after making my deposit?

Sample collection kits are usually shipped overnight, and delivered within 24–48 hours of receiving your order.

How long will it take to receive my test results?

Prenatal gender test results will be available within five business days of receiving your blood sample. Prenatal paternity test results will be available around eight business days after we have received your samples.

We offer expedited services on both the prenatal paternity and gender test. For an additional fee of $100 (US) we can provide the prenatal paternity test in 5 business days and gender results in 2 business days or less.

How will I receive my results?

Test results can be sent via mail, email, fax and/or over the phone. You can select your preferred method on the submission form provided in your sample collection kit.

Can you do a follow-up paternity test after the child is born?

Our prenatal paternity testing service includes a <strong>free</strong> follow-up test. The test must be done within six months of the child’s birth. You may submit a sample from the newborn child for the follow-up test. This sample will be compared to the samples we have on file for previously tested potential fathers.

This follow-up test is not only helpful for clearing up any doubts that may remain, it has also been used to determine our accuracy rate. In the past 18 years, we have found that our test results are approximately 99% accurate.

What if I can’t obtain samples from all potential fathers for a paternity test?

We understand that it is sometimes difficult to obtain samples from all potential fathers. To facilitate the sample collection process for you, we accept forensic samples such as semen stains, toothbrushes, chewing gum, nail clippings, or hair at no additional cost.

Moreover, if the fetus is determined to be male from gender testing, you may be able to submit samples from male relatives of a potential father for paternity determination. Contact our laboratory to inquire if we will accept a non-standard sample for your case.

What happens if the tested parties live in different cities or states?

We can send one sample collection kit to the mother and another to each potential father. It is important that you inform us of this situation prior to sample submission to avoid any confusion.

What is included in the sample collection kit?

Your sample collection kit includes:

  • Blood collection tubes and instructions for the mother
  • Swabs and collection instructions for two possible fathers
  • Return shipping materials
  • A follow-up test kit

If there are more than two possible fathers, we can send additional collection materials at no extra charge.

What will be included in my prenatal paternity test results?

You will receive a report that will include:

  • A side-by-side comparison of the DNA profiles of the fetus and potential fathers
  • An easy-to-read conclusion section explaining whether a potential father can or cannot be excluded as the biological father of the child

It is also possible for us to tell you the gender of the fetus, just ask. You may also have a follow-up paternity test performed after the child is born by providing a sample from the child.

Does the testing price include a follow-up test after the child is born?

Yes. We are confident in the accuracy of our test results, and we provide a follow-up test after your child is born at no extra charge.

You are required to submit a sample from the newborn child for the follow-up test. This test is offered to clear any doubts that may remain regarding the paternity of the child.

What if the prenatal paternity test results differ from the follow-up test results?

Please note that test results are based on samples and information provided by the client. If the client has provided accurate information from the beginning of the testing process, and there is still a discrepancy between the original test results and the follow-up test results, we will refund 90% of the test fee.
