Maternity Tests

Our maternity tests are fast, accurate and painless.

When the maternity of a child is in question, APT's maternity test can provide the definitive answers a family needs. Maternity testing is useful in a number of different situations, including:When an adopted child and an adoptive mother are reunited after years of separation and would like to confirm their biological relationship, when a mother who conceived a child through in vitro fertilization would like to confirm that the proper embryo was implanted into her uterus, when a family or hospital staff person fears that baby switching has mistakenly occurred in the hospital nursery.

Our test kits come in two Forms:

Home Testing: Our Home Maternity test is similar to a Paternity Test, but determines the probability that a woman is the biological mother of a child. DNA samples can be taken from just the alleged mother and child, but may also include the father.

Legal Testing: To be court-admissible, maternity tests must be backed by proof of the identities of the test participants and a chain of custody of the samples collected (provided by a witness). We now offer a court-admissible version of our Home Test Kit for a small additional charge; this test qualifies as an American Association of Blood Banks AABB accredited test.If you think that you may need to use the results of a test in court proceedings, then you should choose this home kit option.

Our maternity Test kits are:

• Easy to Use: Samples are obtained from the child and the alleged mother (the father's participation is optional, but strongly suggested).
• Accurate: Guaranteed results.  99.999% accuracy guarantee for inclusions; 100% for exclusions. We perform thousands of DNA Parentage Tests for clients in the United States and around the world.
• Confidential : The results of the test are provided in the form of a notarized report. All testing is held in the strictest of confidence with the person (s) directly involving the testing.
• Accredited: We are accredited by the AABB and the College of American Pathologists Proficiency Testing.
