Want to know more about DNA testing? David Hartshorne of DNA testing service Orchid Cellmark in Oxfordshire answers some common questions about the DNA testing process from choosing a lab to receiving the results.
If a mother, child and alleged father are tested the tester will either exclude the man with certainty or provide a probability of paternity which is generally greater than ninety nine point nine nine percent.
If other relationships are being tested the level of certainty may vary and we therefore advise that you contact your tester to discuss your particular circumstances.
