A Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) DNA Test helps determine the paternity of an unborn child during a woman’s pregnancy. The test examines the fetal DNA in the mother’s blood during the first trimester. It then compares this DNA profile with the buccal swab sample of the presumed father. The test does not involve the sex determination of the child. We understand the importance of a DNA Test while pregnant for future parents. It can form the foundation of your crucial life decisions. Hence, we use advanced technology and high DNA sequencing techniques for our testing. These tests are absolutely safe for the mother and the child.

DNA holds all the genetic information in a person. Most living creatures have DNA as their prime genetic material. Getting a DNA test can reveal a lot of information and thus finds numerous applications. However, establishing the paternity of an unborn child may seem like a challenging task; the reality is a Prenatal Paternity Test is as easy as regular paternity testing. For a woman getting a DNA test while pregnant is also 100% safe and pain-free. You can get a Prenatal Paternity Test after at least eight to ten weeks of pregnancy.

Fragments of the fetal placental DNA are found to be present in the mother’s blood. Using this blood, the DNA fragments of the child’s placental DNA are isolated and tested against the alleged father’s DN...
